Description
Summary:	The report of the Secretary-General on progress in the implementation of Agenda 21 (A/63/604) was prepared pursuant to General Assembly resolution 62/189. It provides an update on actions taken by Governments, organizations of the United Nations system and major groups in advancing the implementation of sustainable development goals and targets, including through partnerships for sustainable development. It also provides an update on the various activities of Governments and other stakeholders in this field, stressing that all should stay on track in implementing these goals, while aiming for accelerated progress. The report starts by noting that the international community is currently tackling multiple challenges arising from the food and energy crises. The report then describes actions at the intergovernmental level, both under the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the outcome of the sixteenth session of the Commission on Sustainable Development.
