AGENDA 21
Executive Summary
Philippine Agenda 21
is part of the country's response to fulfill its commitments in the historic Earth Summit in 1992
where government and key sectors of society agreed to implement an action agenda for sustainable
development, known as the Agenda 2 1.
Philippine Agenda 21
seeks to answer four questions:
Where are we now?
What is sustainable development?
Where do we want to go?
How do we get there?
In answering these questions, the major stakeholders involved in the
formulation of the Philippine Agenda 21 found it necessary to seek common ground. The Principles of
Unity, forming part of this document, embodies this common ground which unites the key actors in
their pursuit of sustainable development.
