PLEASE NOTE:

Declaration on Future Generations

In a letter dated 9 September, the co-facilitators circulated the final revised text of the declaration, acknowledging that consensus could not be achieved on several paragraphs.

Declaration on Future Generations

(Final Revised Text - A consensus has not been reached)

https://www.un.org/pga/wp-content/uploads/sites/108/2024/09/The-Declaration-on-Future-Generations-as-at-9-September-2024.pdf

Silence was broken on several paragraphs by a few delegations and one group. We have since undertaken further consultations in respect of the paragraphs on which silence was broken with a view to addressing concerns in a manner that maintains the integrity, balance and ambition of the Declaration.

We now present our final revised text of the Declaration, attached hereto, which reflects our best efforts to arrive at consensus. In this regard, adjustments to language have been made in the chapeau of the Guiding Principles, as well as paragraphs 22, 26, 27, 29, 32 and 37. It should be noted that, on a limited number of paragraphs, consensus has not been achieved.

One delegation is maintaining its concerns on paragraphs 15 and 22, while another delegation is maintaining its concerns on paragraph 25, as well as paragraph 32 as amended. In respect of paragraphs 22, 26 and 29, we note that these elements remain under active consideration in the negotiations on the Pact for the Future.

The outcome of these deliberations could have implications for the current language in the Declaration on Future Generations.
