A/RES/69/315
Draft outcome document of the United Nations summit
for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda
development; universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy
services; sustainable transport systems; and quality and resilient infrastructure.
28. We commit to making fundamental changes in the way that our societies
produce and consume goods and services. Governments, international organizations,
the business sector and other non-State actors and individuals must contribute to
changing unsustainable consumption and production patterns, including through the
mobilization, from all sources, of financial and technical assistance to strengthen
developing countries’ scientific, technological and innovative capacities to move
towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production. We encourage
the implementation of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable
Consumption and Production Patterns. All countries take action, with developed
countries taking the lead, taking into account the development and capabilities of
developing countries.
29. We recognize the positive contribution of migrants for inclusive growth and
sustainable development. We also recognize that international migration is a
multidimensional reality of major relevance for the development of countries of
origin, transit and destination, which requires coherent and comprehensive
responses. We will cooperate internationally to ensure safe, orderly and regular
migration involving full respect for human rights and the humane treatment of
migrants regardless of migration status, of refugees and of displaced persons. Such
cooperation should also strengthen the resilience of communities hosting refugees,
particularly in developing countries. We underline the right of migrants to return to
their country of citizenship, and recall that States must ensure that their returning
nationals are duly received.
30. States are strongly urged to refrain from promulgating and applying any
unilateral economic, financial or trade measures not in accordance with international
law and the Charter of the United Nations that impede the full achievement of
economic and social development, particularly in developing countries.
31. We acknowledge that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the
global response to climate change. We are determined to address decisively the
threat posed by climate change and environmental degradation. The global nature of
climate change calls for the widest possible international cooperation aimed at
accelerating the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions and addressing
adaptation to the adverse impacts of climate change. We note with grave concern the
significant gap between the aggregate effect of parties’ mitigation pledges in terms
of global annual emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 and aggregate emission
pathways consistent with having a likely chance of holding the increase in global
average temperature below 2 degrees Celsius, or 1.5 degrees Celsius above
pre-industrial levels.
32. Looking ahead to the twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties in
Paris, we underscore the commitment of all States to work for an ambitious and
universal climate agreement. We reaffirm that the protocol, another legal instrument
or agreed outcome with legal force under the Convention applicable to all parties
shall address in a balanced manner, inter alia, mitigation, adaptation, finance,
technology development and transfer and capacity-building; and transparency of
action and support.
33. We recognize that social and economic development depends on the
sustainable management of our planet’s natural resources. We are therefore
determined to conserve and sustainably use oceans and seas, freshwater resources,
