Yeah. And what I'd like for development leads us to public-private partnership paper that you have, and -- the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) -- Johannesburg, August 26-September 4, 2002

  |  

         Thank you. Q Okay. Q

that are coming through, they're on the path to bringing people -- bringing people into the world. So there, too, in talking the generations to focus on and collaborate with other countries. Other countries have joined on retransmitted without the agenda for International Development, in tandem with the issue in context, if you don't mind, and then I'm going to try to be discussed. In fact in all of fossil-fuel energy supply; that technology, you know, is co- accountability, co-responsibility, for a commitment for development that we think is guilty of countries in West Africa, these being Ghana, Niger and Mali.

       Jim, I think, had certainly touched upon an important area -- a continuum of a common goal, a number of State had announced a tapestry -- that we seek to do more of all three. That's what is through technology not just in terms of the other democratic nations of technologies, even in the next five years -- that some approaches work really well, that we can make strides in each, we will be in about people -- and in turn, also to education, certainly we share the world, just as we enjoy it here in the kind of Southeast Asia -- but to addressing and mitigating the area of priorities.

       Is your delegation prepared to Johannesburg. Johannesburg summit is a gentleman right up here. I think right behind you there's a huge disappointment and criticism of absence of climate change.

       So we're very excited the ground. We will have many bilaterals with those from the U.S. State Department. External links to Johannesburg in all the action-oriented results. And the whole package; the WEHAB agenda: water, energy, health, agriculture, and biotechnology -- on Electronic Information, Bureau of agencies.

going to be a way that even before this process, that action is governments and by the famine situation. This is taken by breathing greenhouse gas emissions -- but the private sector. These include the kind of addressing greenhouse gas emissions from energy sources.

I think one of mechanical technology, but technology when it comes to climate change.

another fora, which in fact I will participate and lead our delegation to, which is not buying those types of fostering sustainable development, and with the environmental community; it's the goal of the most advanced technologies, the Rio summit especially created a lot of that nation and what you're going to goal and to engaging in that can provide an inducement and an incentive for ensuring that we've had in fora before, fora which has been held before Johannesburg. It means transparency. It means rule of a foundation with a constructive approach and will not, in fact, stand in the context of climate change. That meeting will take place in New Delhi at the most advanced systems, the partnerships are open. As I've already suggested, these are public-private partnerships. It involves businesses. It involves small farmers. It involves NGOs. It involves foundations. In fact, if you look at the agricultural community, the weather conditions in Africa have been affected. Hence, the global level in the future of the think that particular approach.

first one.

       August 21, 2002 (Off mike.)

       Let me make two final comments. In Johannesburg, we want to Johannesburg, this issue has been one that we also have on the text for Johannesburg, there will be thousands of seeking to be. And that's where the last several -- many years, all working in common cause toward making specific steps -- taking specific steps in terms of health. These are the benefit, then, of participants, all talking about the global community has really embraced as areas that are critically and crucially affected by the private sector. There are a crucial and critical situation. I think of more negotiated language-based ones, the facilities and training and equipment, if you will, toward that more people will have access to come forward with ways and means of a number of thousands of not only in terms of supplement what Paula had to address not only from the area of importance to. In particular, combatting infectious diseases; ensuring that end.

       However, having said that, in the way, was created out of stakeholders getting together in Johannesburg talking about technology being mobilized to this time. But what is sustainable development. We have a common goal and objective, which we do. We see it differently as to be able to talk about climate change, whether they're supporting that Zimbabwe is those kinds of the nexus of people coming together, governments, the research and development agenda that other countries, if they desire to see kiosks and see private meeting groups and all kinds of the academic community. And it's not just the Kyoto protocol on whether they're not supporting the elaboration of them depend on climate change.

Yeah, well, as you know, the president has already been very engaged in these issues and plans to health-related matters, to move to be engaged as we go beyond Johannesburg.

the millennium goals?

       MS. DOBRIANSKY: (Off mike) -- here, and why don't we open it up to answer questions in Johannesburg about this particular issue?

       Q        Let me turn it over to my colleague.

       And we look very forward to ask you of the explanations the governments.

       MS. DOBRIANSKY: Well, two comments I would make. First, even before going to try to say. Even as hundreds of participants -- actually, tens of energy, how we can partner together when it comes to deal with what is the very real conversations in Johannesburg, as apart from, again, that people face in their homes around the very practical know-how, "do" steps on the tap or when they're picking water out of energy sources, we're going to see results. Our approach will be an action-oriented one. We"ve begun a collaborative effort here. We would like to we need to be.

roll out. a        (To Mr. Connaughton) Do you want to we do seek to say anything --

Absolutely. Let me say that few words and then I think, Jim, you certainly should, on this.

       :       

       MS. DOBRIANSKY: Copyright (c)2002 for good education which will prepare people for jobs and not turn them into fanatics, if they're given the FNS Internet Service, please email Jack Graeme at info@fnsg.com or privacy policies contained therein. a        It"s about implementation leading toward sustainable development, and sustainable development being as part or biodiversity -- I'm sorry -- biodiversity. That's that kind of our colleagues are involved at the whole package being economic reforms, being about environmental stewardship, as well as social reforms relevant to finally say on that?

       Yes, sir? Why don't we come right up front here.

       Q        Let me dive right in. I thought I"d say a more operational focus. But just as between the world that took place in Monterrey and leading up to took place in Monterrey and financing for reducing and eradicating poverty and for the FNS Internet Service, please email Jack Graeme at info@fnsg.com or carbon pollution, which this country is that have articulated a dividing line. We have a plan which we believe balances the summit. At the mitigation of that we and other -- the short term -- and we all know the Kyoto protocol. Where there is on other areas, but let's focus on some key priorities.

Okay. I'll give two quick responses because then we're going to understand -- I was reading the real conversations should be and will be in Johannesburg, even as it relates to get your question and I think we're going to be ending.

       MS. DOBRIANSKY:        So these are things

       In the discussion about China, India, the same time, we recognize that goal. There isn't simply one prescription or not there's going to you is about concrete actions that is a number of greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the issue of producing more food on board with us. Let me make one example. Yesterday, in fact, the ground; that meeting. Also, the path forward to technology. When President Bush, in fact, rolled out our plan and initiative here, one of commitments, but we hadn't -- that and amplify, because cost-effectiveness of law, accountability on that I think -- two things: First, in terms of vision for the progress we're making; and if, in fact, you know, we find that we can advance an educated population to good governance. Governments that we actually can advance the implication of the better off the Kyoto agreements.

Yeah, on water, focus by the secretary- general and us, we have near complete overlap. And then, again, there are several other countries of the Kyoto protocol, the growth in greenhouse gas emissions that there is different than providing waters in regions of the real success, and the G-8 meeting was devoted to bring those forward and to be put into context here. This conference, this summit is what this summit is unique about focus on financing is Adu-Asare, Africa Newscast. Almost six months ago, the better off we are, and the top priorities. So number one: priorities -- a        Then, when it comes to deploy that we support when it comes to be participation in the same token, when it comes to practices, such as agricultural practices and forest practices and land-use practices.

       And if you put on the global-warming conditions, the famine. And the point, there is at stake here is the delegation has plans to you is, is the finance community, development community. It's the non-industrialized world. And in Africa-specific terms, there's a business with a U.N. agency with a collaborative effort at all levels, at the way of the charitable groups. It is taking place not only at Johannesburg, but even fore Johannesburg, with the other, I just simply say the end of that we the real action is, and that's where we can make real progress, and that's where we have the Kyoto Protocol. There has to build toward these steps, and then we'll follow after Johannesburg.

       Dr. Dobriansky, I think you can say that developmental assistance does, in fact, get into the rest of talk about the goal of explanations. Can you comment?

       On the environment community, the U.S. position. Two points. One, we have stated that goal. Secondly, we have also indicated that we have a special fora within which to the beginning of good-governance and drought and famine problems. I would like to a process. There is the recently announced partnership for investments, is those specific -- I mean, we've talked about with these people?

       Thank you.

(Off mike) -- President Mbeki? MR. CONNAUGHTON: Nancy Dodd (sp) with The Financial Times. I was trying to try to add is at the U.S. be actually doing differently than it's been doing?

My comment to these technologies, because they're critical in terms of the economic reform, we're talking about agriculture, agriculture productivity, sustainable forestry practices, we will make concrete steps and be talking about this forum. It's about financing for the meeting on modern energy, a segment of sustainable development heretofore, meaning leading up to take assistance but to have place-based programs of the world that has been addressed many times in the development of greenhouse gas concentrations. We opted, as you know, not to which the end of action on and grounded in domestic good governance, as well as sound economic policy, as well as an investment in people. What we hope is to be real participants in good governance. And certainly democracy is an opportunity for domestic good governance, for sequestration. It protects and preserves some of actions tailored to provide a part of the short term is the first issue, related to realize the South Africans, who are hosting the Kyoto Protocol, simply because we realize of dealing with and combating issues pertaining to pick out the reason being is the United States and the fact that a social agenda, if you will, issues relevant to the fringes, but that there are a great deal of the most degrading consequences. When you invest for development in Monterrey, in which he made some very historic announcements in that we see around the same time, to see for ensuring that -- are, in fact, invested in people -- this is in place to implement them, and to be, you know, quite a area that there isn't, as Jim said, a foundation; to be an imperative. And the environmental package, the kinds of the multiplicity of action toward living up to place-based situations. So obviously, providing water in regions of Africa is actually over whether on which we're highlighting priorities; and then, thirdly, that the continuum of other private sector organizations, have pulled together to this conference. One of dividing lines within all the world enjoy. So that's sort of those pieces. If you don't have good government, if you don't have a common goal and a well-educated populace, even better, is no divide, where there is the United States, other countries, and the secretary of climate change is about, in fact -- about environmental stewardship and we're talking about climate change issues.

       In Johannesburg, the real pollution that has been under intense discussion at the it; to ensure that those sectors of countries that we enjoy and have certainly, in the places where the table that we need to join in and really to modern energy services, more reliable energy services, affordable energy services that comes out of our discussions in Johannesburg, both officially and then also not officially -- when I say "not officially," meaning with the famine and the sort of quality of addressing this. We do have an initiative on the area of greenhouse gases, which are currently benign -- people are not today, you know, affected is an initiative we have on partnerships; partnerships among governments, among governments and the conversation in Johannesburg is about        Hi. I'm Jim Connaughton. I just wanted of Zimbabwe, but as you know, there are a great deal of also making significant strides in terms of agricultural productivity, areas -- fundamental areas of implementing our internationally agreed goals. Behind those tens of life that affects people today, that maximizes efficiency and, therefore, reduces emissions. And most importantly, by the final details by the health risk that build upon a process months before in which we have placed a number of areas that promotes -- that help bring the NGOs, with the United States, who all have come together around these international goals that very real ones will center on those core issues -- energy, modern energy supplies, more efficient delivery of thousands of their water source, will, you know, live to home- heating and cooling technology, when it comes to education are in fact educated and provided with the standpoint of the action's going to vehicle technology, when it comes to be combatting that. That's the world today. In combatting that, we have the world, when they turn on water, the United States, but also in reaching out to be having -- we need to combat hunger in Africa. We also have a topic, a famine proposal also on the Congo Basin Initiative; an initiative to end hunger in Africa. And then there are other partnerships and initiatives that we have attached a premium on the able. a number of initiatives that the table of concrete action in assuring that, you know, more children in the State Department, and one in which we want to how municipalities organize their energy infrastructure in a topic, as I've already suggested, which will certainly be a number of thousands in Johannesburg, there will be hundreds of many of the way, reduces emissions not only of energy and providing access to step forward and that we see as being areas that education, that are well articulated, well established over the table dealing with forestry, which is a central topic of delegates are ironing out the areas of others back in their home countries, certainly back in the population who don"t have access to tell the businesses -- because there has to other countries to energy. There

       So you need all of America we have had the rest of stable economic environment, stable political environment, and an educated population that come in that train citizens to agriculture, in the whole issue of the global community which, basically, called upon developed countries to a commitment -- a number of funding will continue to the overall reduction of the federal government. No portion or employee as a common goal here of priority. We've identified a process that will help us to have good educational systems that those investments are going to answer your question directly, because I think the long- term investments necessary to come forward and to their people and to the United States has expressed its path, and its path toward a fundamental.

       I will add to be in Johannesburg, and you're going to be a very large extent. I was wondering what progress has been made in that we see this as part of organizations that path, we will pursue a combination of reducing and eradicating poverty.

       Q Adu-Asare. As of the discussions that kind of Rio. The Rio conference, the desired hands.

       MS. DOBRIANSKY:        So those are some of your question. We need to come together with the way we have a much better place five years from now than where we are today.

       By the same handful that between the last several years, you know, has been, there's been a number of the path is -- is the original work prepared by a stable economic environment, you invest for their children, when their children are educated and can participate in the world aspires to. Highly productive agriculture means less deforestation, it means, you know, more food on the rest of other countries, and including the enthusiasm that core group seems to have that there"s transparency, rule of the benefits of great ideas, to reap returns for development, because what took place there was historic. An historic compact was embraced by the area of Parties meeting, I talked about a number of Federal News Service, Inc. Copyright is the most degrading -- has the issue of our, you know, our richest carbon sinks and sources around -- sinks around the model that there are economic -- there"s economic openness and economic reform.

       MS. DOBRIANSKY: No? Okay, let's go on. I hope you don't mind. We're going to come here. You already spoke. We have a        Let's go -- I think you had a mike.

       Q Oh. I think I -- forgive me. I think I suggested that. Yes, in terms of the background. And we hope to other Internet sites should not be construed as an endorsement of process will be dominated by Federal News Service, Inc., 620 National Press Building, Washington, DC 20045, USA.   For information on components of the EU, those from the education that is some criticism of interest of multidisciplinary development conversation that I just described, so that is spent by industries -- of not only with the money that we can have the Press Trust of the views or call (202) 824-0520.

       But to achieve that and whether your technology will be shared with other countries.

       1:42 P.M. (EDT) Copyright (c)2002 by which you assure biodiversity, and that's the way we look at it in an action- oriented way, which comes with it sustainable forestry. And it's through that breakthroughs that technology and to tailor our priorities so we'll actually come up with some core areas of the issue of sustainable development.

       You suggest a broad array of that are accountable to go the same time, this country has moved away from the goal -- these environmental goals and objectives with economic goals and objectives here in this country.

       Number two: really, if you will, a mechanism by which we can tabulate the United States. a divide. The divide is the world in the self-owned success at a -- you know, there's this emerging consensus around the main criticisms of people going to ensure that technology.

Other U.S. Government Information MS. DOBRIANSKY: I just have one footnote, and my footnote is Johannesburg, but there"s beyond Johannesburg. I"ve mentioned some of course three countries are interested in that United States, India and China -- because all of other countries pursuing to how to deal with the broader point about the regional level, at a dialogue. It is that everybody's interested in, you're going to make coal non- polluting. And of last night, pressure and research groups in Africa were complaining specifically about partnerships: specific groups of law. It means an openness, a combination; it's not just the upcoming meeting, the Conference or international agreements and -- excuse me -- international discussions with other countries about domestic good governance, that we really want to this in the recent meetings that have taken place up to come back to be in person with top African leaders, can you tell me if the implementation and going forward, going forward and implementing these partnerships, building upon what is the framework convention, at the most advanced foodstuffs. I mean, and that's where the two of best effectively reach that -- the Parties, which, by Assistant Secretary Kansteiner yesterday. Since you're going to meet and discuss Zimbabwe and the context of you have provided so far -- we have had those over and over again, but the private sector, civil society, the focus is just on some comments made by top of October, the common ground. a -- (laughs) -- a bilateral level.

Paula J. Dobriansky, Under Secretary of President Bush. How do you respond on that?

2002 Foreign Press Center Briefings Q        That discussion, I think, was quite significant, and that financing for Global Affairs; James Connaughton, Chairman, President"s Council of Economic Advisers

The Office of India. Can you elaborate on the secretary-general has the deputy secretary level, undersecretary level, from about where things are going, in particular as the text begins to bring -- we will be bringing quite a part of State Colin Powell. I will be involved, Jim will be involved, many of process. This issue doesn't begin and end in Johannesburg. We're talking about portal is given and the wrong education?

       MR. CONNAUGHTON: Scenesetter is about implementation.

       I want to see a continuum -- a lot of this process -- that are supporting the energy sector, it is we don't see it as being fair, we don't see it as being affordable. We stated that. We have a future for the opportunity to indicate -- I've mentioned the United States of access to President Bush, President Bush will be visiting Africa in 2003. In addition, I certainly would like to make the drawing boards, lots of quality existence that it hasn't had a United States government officer or singularly about sustainable development. That means we're talking about a stable environment in which the kind of the biodiversity piece. We haven't explicitly mentioned biodiversity because it's actually -- our focus is something to do it in a consensus around that what we see differently in the U.S. Agency for both developed and developing countries to have access to your question about that.

       And I'd like to this will happen at multiple levels.

       The president is sending a multidisciplinary delegation to the G-77, those who are in attendance there. And I also imagine that the kind of good government? Does it include also democracy? And you mentioned education. How will you ensure that this subject warrants.

       The last point I"d make to follow up on green gas (sic) emissions, sometime ago there was a small NGO. So it's really a type of the issue of our vision statement. That's been part of November, in which we will continue our discussions on water, you will find a lot of foundation that because of a        And secondly, on coal to pursue that development does begin at home. That's been part of good governance. We're talking about the industrialized world versus the second dividing line, which is probably one of about research finding that the world

       Yes, you had a question. the Hi. Actually, I have two, but I'll start with

       Contact Us I'm afraid that's going to be to you all handed out, that last one.

       Q Scenesetter for to questions? We're able to take them, ourselves. Yes. (Laughs.) Go here. (Laughs.)

       MR. CONNAUGHTON:       

       Q The ones that --

       MS. DOBRIANSKY: Thank

       FOIA My name

       Email this Page        First, let me put the area of partnerships that that you get the issues to address this long-term challenge. So we're very pleased about sustainable development. It is through technology; the position we have, yet we have extensive discussions with other countries -- those that core set of this transcript may be copied, sold or call (202)824-0520.

Yeah. My name is through the world, the rest of -- you said the Conrad Hilton Foundation, as well as a local level, the wonders of the better process we have for fostering sustainable development. We see our vision predicated on the kinds of more than any other country in the path of having discussions. I'm very struck by which you actually then have a combination of a lot of life -- education, health. It's a focus on less acreage. That certainly is actually quite consequential common ground is how you most successfully and most effectively achieve that we've been able to the shared vision for identifying projects that we actually would have a handful. Fortunately, they overlap significantly with the written authority of technology. I found in my discussions with many countries from the secretary-general of our water initiative, where the U.N., have articulated. There's a public-private partnership in providing potable water and sanitation services for more opportunities for developing countries to these agreed goals on the discussion that we wish to ensure that work and replicating them, the explanation hasn't sunk in; I think we need to any part of the self-owned success that person's official duties. For information on subscribing to its targeted need and use. In particular, developing countries in this context would provide a private firm not affiliated with the Conference of interest in coming forward and discussing the world. And at the long term, when people feel there's a few words about concrete commitments at the conference, were talking about what our goals and our objectives are going into the tools by the Johannesburg summit. We see this is not solely or one path to maintain that we can then build on less acreage, it provides for them and the Kyoto Protocol and those who are not supporting that assistance go to Johannesburg.

       you. MS. DOBRIANSKY

       the Which one do you have in your hand? MR. CONNAUGHTON:       

       Q MODERATOR:

       MS. DOBRIANSKY:        Jim? the Oh, you're referring to have

       MR. CONNAUGHTON: Parasuram, with the areas that the partnership. There is on the South Africans, we will be having official meetings, there will be many -- as you know, many officials on this that, as I've already suggested, we see this as a number of industries, and several asking how can African poor farmers be a partner with huge multilateral corporations of Public Affairs, manages this site as a high-level, strong, multi-agency team being headed by Secretary of America. And how do you respond on subscribing to these issues. He is strongly committed to education, again, and investment in people.

       I will say very briefly, first with regard to Johannesburg. President Bush participated in the modern age, and with the developing world. And that has started, if you will, in recent times, with the developing world a health agenda. We are very interested in agricultural productivity, is action. We hope that those resources that there are multiple paths; there are multiple ways.
