Title: United Nations Environmental Council: A workshop for sustainability
Abstract: United Nations Environmental Council “In 1983 the United Nations convened the Brundtland Commission to address growing concern ‘about the accelerating deterioration of the human environment and natural resources and the consequences of that deterioration for economic and social development. the outcome was the report ‘our common future’ which targets sustainable development. This laid the groundwork for the policy on sustainable development for the UN. In 2007 the UN ratificated ‘The Triple bottom line’ people, planet , profit – approach and it became the dominant criteria for measuring organizational success on a sustainable level. While the people and planet aspect of the triple bottom line are well addressed in the Economic and Social council, the security council and the Court of Justice, the Planet (environment) is only taken care by agencies or programmes like the UNEP – United Nations Environmental Programme. This proposal will try to bridge this existing organizational gap within the United Nations – therefor a new organ will be added to the existing structure of the UN, the United Nations Environmental Council. “
