We are especially looking forward to the global elaboration of a green economy in the context of sustainable development. Taking our cue from that, we will chart the way forward for the environmental sector's contribution to a just transition to a pro-poor and job- creating green economy here in South Africa. The drafting of our country's position for Rio+20 is therefore being conducted through an extensive multilateral and multistakeholder process, which includes the participation of government, business, labour, civil society and other relevant partners.
