Intervention by Dr. CHHUN Vannak, Head of Delegation of Cambodia
to 2nd Intersessional Meeting in New York, 15 December 2011
I would like to commend on the great and substantial work of the UNCSD Bureau, especially excellent
efforts reflected in the comprehensive opening statement of Excellency Sha Zukang, and
We support the reiteration of the common messages by different groups of the outcome document, in
particular, integration, coherence and implementation among the three pillars of sustainable
development and action oriented programme as highlighted this morning. We would also like to
associate ourselves with the statement by the G-77 and China and that of LDCs. We would like to
address question 5, 6 and 7.
The outcome document of the Rio+20 should focus on:
1. Increasing the financial resources for the LDCs to well manage a transition to green economy
from capacity building to the development of green economy roadmap, with key indicators to
monitor progress and implementation, along with socially inclusive growth.
2. Using regional and national green growth policy, strategy and green growth roadmap as a
means for the green economy; Through Korea-Cambodia cooperation, especially Global Green
Growth Institute (GGGI), a national green growth master plan of Cambodia is being developed.
3. Enhancing south-south cooperation and north-south cooperation on the green economy and
poverty eradication. Providing broadened open market access to the LDCs for its agriculture,
green products as well as environmental friendly goods, and more assistance in natural disaster
preparedness to be delivered to the LDCs and the developing countries.
4. Speeding up the process of MDGs achievements at the national level, and also defining the
sustainable development goals as well as strengthening the UN Delivered One Programme,
based on sound governance structure and further institutional coordination and cooperation.
5. Sustainable Consumption and Production, especially the 10 Year Framework Programe (10 YFP
on SCP ) should remain an overall overarching goal of green economy and as a cross-cutting
sector for sustainable development.
Thank you very much, Mr. Co-Chair.
