Description
A 600-page document consisting of 39 Chapters, Agenda 21 is regarded as an Action Plan for combating environmental problems and attaining development without compromising on the environment, which comprised of means ranging from change in consumption patterns to protection of the atmosphere. Despite a plethora of action plan chapters and measurable successes in implementation of chapters 18 and 27 (involvement of NGOs), chapter 35 (Science for Sustainable Development) and chapters 38 and 39 (International Legal Instruments), Agenda 21 still hasn’t succeeded in many aspects. There hence arises an urgent need to examine the reasons for the failure to meet the aim of sustainable development as under Agenda 21, and put forward a way forward, imposing selectively, responsibilities on member nations for the purposes of the same.
