The NSSD sets out the country's sustainable development priorities and actions over the next five years and puts us on a solid policy platform as we prepare for the Rio+20 negotiations, which will be held in Brazil next month. Rio+20 also marks the 10th anniversary of the World Summit on Sustainable Development, which we hosted here at home, in South Africa. It was during the session that was held here at home that we pushed for an action-oriented outcome with a set of targets for sustainable development, namely the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation. This plan provided a detailed course of action for the implementation of Agenda 21 of 1992 and the Millennium Development Goals.
