Resumen
UNDP and the EC established the Poverty and Environment Initiative to contribute to the efforts of the international community to meet its self-imposed challenges at the UN conferences. Part of this complex process involves the dissemination of practical approaches and strategies that merge technical solutions with political realities, so as to achieve practical and demonstrable results. But the Initiative has a larger goal to spur fundamental shifts in thinking and practice about reducing poverty and environmental degradation. This is an ambitious aim that is difficult to achieve. Yet one reality is evident: leadership is key. To this end, the Forum of Ministers on Poverty and Environment was established. The Forum is comprised of some 40 ministers — hailing from all parts of the world and representing a variety of fields — who have demonstrated a commitment to poverty reduction and sound environmental management. Forum members can be powerful and compelling advocates for changes in thinking and practice at home and in the international arena. This publication is the result of preparations for and discussions during the first full meeting of the Forum of Ministers on Poverty and Environment held in New York on 29 September 1999. It contains a brief report on the deliberations during the Forum meeting, a set of policies and instruments, and a background essay that details policy recommendations in various sectors. Together, these various pieces provide a practical overview as to how the international community can move towards the goals of poverty eradication and environmental regeneration.
