Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to United States participation in the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED).

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the United States should: (1) place the highest priority on its successful participation in the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) (and that the President should make every effort to attend); (2) actively support the signing of international agreements that effectively reduce the threats of climate change and the loss of biological diversity and that establish a strong framework for cooperation between developing and developed countries on a wide range of environmental and developmental issues; (3) seek the development of a stronger legal framework to protect the global environment; (4) support the effort to address the legitimate needs of developing countries for increased financial resources, new and appropriate technologies, and reduced debt burden to facilitate sustainable growth; (5) support initiatives to help developing countries become more energy efficient, with increased priority on renewable energy resources and more efficient transportation systems; and (6) support global goals of slowing deforestation of primary native forests.
