The primary role of the Commission on Sustainable Development is to monitor progress in the implementation of Agenda 21 of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, Rio de Janeiro, June 1992) and to suggest steps that governments and sectors of civil society can lake to move forward on its implementation. The CSD is to consider information provided by governments and to make appropriate recommendations to the General Assembly keeping in mind that national governments have the main responsibility for implementing Agenda 21.
