| 1992’s Rio Declaration on Environment and Development identified the nexus between population and environment as a crucial element for achieving sustainable development—a linkage that was reinforced at the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo in 1994. But success in implementing these goals on international, national, and local levels has been modest. While nations at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg reaffirmed their commitment to the Rio Declaration and the global program entitled Agenda 21, the Summit’s agenda and discussions remained all but silent about the role of population and reproductive health in addressing unsustainable patterns of consumption and conserving the environment. Over a decade after Rio, organizations are still struggling to make truly integrated population, health and environment (PHE) programs effective. In a world where population growth in many developing countries is still unsustainable, poverty is on the rise and ecosystems are under constant threat it has become more important than ever to demonstrate the enhanced value of integrated PHE programs. However, linking sustainable development with environmental conservation has always been controversial with critics increasingly asking whether people and wildlife belong together at all. This session will argue that poorer countries cannot simply declare natural resources off-limits to people and highlight some of the important interdependencies between health and the environment. It will demonstrate that sustainable development and environmental conservation goals are compatible. | |||
