Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that, consistent with national sovereignty considerations, the position of the United States at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development should: (1) place the highest priority on the success of the Conference by participating actively, particularly through the personal participation of the President; (2) negotiate international agreements that effectively reduce the threat of climate change and biological diversity loss; (3) propose or support an initiative on financing global environmental cooperation efforts that takes into account the additional costs of international environmental protection and the basic development goals of developing countries and increases accountability for the use of funds provided for environmental purposes; (4) seek to advance the development of a stronger international legal framework and the creation of appropriate institutional mechanisms for protecting the global environment; (5) promote public participation in environmental and development decisions at all levels; and (6) support new programs and institutions to help developing countries become more energy efficient and otherwise increase their capacity for acquiring and using technology to make their economies more environmentally sustainable, global goals of slowing deforestation of primary forests, the creation of a global action plan to raise the status of women, the development of new agreements to eliminate land-based sources of marine pollution, a process of international consultations aimed at identifying ways that poverty can be alleviated and natural resources better conserved through reduction of developing country debt burdens, the development of a reformed system of national accounting that would reflect full economic costs of environmental and resource degradation and the benefits of the sustainable use of natural resources, and programs that provide maternal and child health care, education and training especially for women, and voluntary family planning.
