A/RES/66/288
280. We invite all relevant agencies of the United Nations system and other relevant
international organizations to support developing countries and, in particular, the
least developed countries in capacity-building for developing resource-efficient and
inclusive economies, including by:
(a)
Sharing sustainable practices in various economic sectors;
(b) Enhancing knowledge and capacity to integrate disaster risk reduction
and resilience into development plans;
(c) Supporting North-South, South-South and triangular cooperation for the
transition to a resource-efficient economy;
(d)
D.
Promoting public-private partnerships.
Trade
281. We reaffirm that international trade is an engine for development and sustained
economic growth, and also reaffirm the critical role that a universal, rules-based,
open, non-discriminatory and equitable multilateral trading system, as well as
meaningful trade liberalization, can play in stimulating economic growth and
development worldwide, thereby benefiting all countries at all stages of
development as they advance towards sustainable development. In this context, we
remain focused on achieving progress in addressing a set of important issues, such
as, inter alia, trade-distorting subsidies and trade in environmental goods and
services.
282. We urge the members of the World Trade Organization to redouble their efforts
to achieve an ambitious, balanced and development-oriented conclusion to the Doha
Development Agenda, while respecting the principles of transparency, inclusiveness
and consensual decision-making, with a view to strengthening the multilateral
trading system. In order to effectively participate in the work programme of the
World Trade Organization and fully realize trade opportunities, developing countries
need the assistance and enhanced cooperation of all relevant stakeholders.
E.
Registry of commitments
283. We welcome the commitments voluntarily entered into at the United Nations
Conference on Sustainable Development and throughout 2012 by all stakeholders
and their networks to implement concrete policies, plans, programmes, projects and
actions to promote sustainable development and poverty eradication. We invite the
Secretary-General to compile these commitments and facilitate access to other
registries that have compiled commitments, in an Internet-based registry. The
registry should make information about the commitments fully transparent and
accessible to the public, and it should be periodically updated.
