SOUTH Africa will be participating in the follow-up to the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) at the 12th session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development in New York from April 19 to 30. The session will evaluate progress made in implementing sustainable development commitments in terms of water, sanitation and human settlements. “Since 1994, 10 million people have been given access to clean water by the Community Water Supply and Sanitation Programme. This is a remarkable achievement, more than matching the rate of delivery required to meet the millennium goals set by the world’s heads of state at the United Nations in 2000,” said Mike Muller, director-general in the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism.
