Plain Language Gude to WSSD
January 2005
"The guide will be widely used in the Commonwealth and beyond to promote understanding and engagement in the WSSD process at all levels."
Don McKinnon Commonwealth Secretary General
The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg in 2002 brought together thousands of delegates who mapped out the future of the global sustainable development agenda. The resulting technical document, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI), identifies priorities in the implementation of Agenda 21 and other international agreements and commitments that will take these priorities forward. This plain language version provides an invaluable reference to the outcomes of the WSSD by explaining the JPOI clearly for the lay person and expert alike.
