Lo
Stakeholder
Forum
è un'organizzazione
internazionale
per promuovere
lo sviluppo sostenibile
e la democrazia
a livello globale
che mira a
migliorare le
decisioni
internazionali
sullo sviluppo
sostenibile con
un approccio
aperto,
responsabile e
partecipativo
attraverso il
coinvolgimento degli stakeholder
nei processi
intergovernativi.
Si propone di
fornire un ponte
tra coloro che
hanno un interesse
nello sviluppo
sostenibile, e i
forum
internazionali in cui
vengono prese le
decisioni in
loro nome.
Lo Stakeholder Forum è stato fondato nel 1987 dall'UNEP, il Programma delle Nazioni Unite per l'Ambiente e lo Sviluppo del Regno Unito (UK UNED). L'organizzazione continua a svolgere questa funzione, ma è stata rinominata Forum nel 2000 dai soggetti interessati ad un futuro sostenibile. Lo Stakeholder Forum sta giocando un ruolo chiave nella preparazione e il follow-up del vertice mondiale sullo sviluppo sostenibile del 2002 ed è la principale organizzazione mondiale per il coinvolgimento degli stakeholder e di sensibilizzazione verso il Summit della Terra 2012. è anche l'organizzazione leader per la facilitazione dei processi globali multi-stakeholder per lo sviluppo sostenibile.

Lo Stakeholder Forum pubblica regolarmente il resoconto del negoziato di Rio+20 e degli altri accadimenti internazionali dello sviluppo sostenibile e dei cambiamenti climatici con la rivista web OUTREACH.

Rio+20: Analysis of Zero Draft Submissions
Il Forum ha svolto uno studio approfondito sui materiali sottoposti alla CSD per la preparazione dello Zero draft del Documento finale di Rio+20 (> Consulta lo Zero draft nella pagina delle Nazioni Unite).
La seconda riunione del PrepCom, il Comitato preparatorio di Rio+20, ha invitato tutti gli Stati membri, le organizzazioni del sistema, e gli stakeholder a fornire contributi per iscritto entro il 1 ° novembre 2011, per l’inclusione in una compilation riassuntiva e per la preparazione dello Zero draft.
L’ analisi dei contributi è stata fatta caratterizzando i contenuti che si trovano nello Zero draft per mezzo di 97 parole chiave rilevanti per Rio+20 e determinando quali organizzazioni hanno manifestato il proprio interesse alla CSD servendosi di quel termine.
L’analisi ha tre obiettivi:
-
Aiutare le Nazioni Unite nello sviluppo delle stesure successive di un documento breve e orientato ai risultati politici che sia rappresentativo di tutti i punti di vista.
-
Creare uno strumento di informazione per aiutare tutti gli organismi delle Nazioni Unite, gli Stati membri e le altre parti interessate a trovare le organizzazioni che hanno interessi comuni; a identificare i conflitti potenziali e a fare gruppo attorno a temi chiave o partnership per Rio+20 e oltre.
-
Condividere le informazioni per aumentare l’efficacia del processo di Rio e la qualità dei documenti finali attraverso il lavoro comune.
Interessante il wording dei documenti presentati alla CSD, una figura nella quale la dimensione delle parole è proporzionale alla frequenza con la quale compaiono nei contributi (Fig. 1).
Figura. 1 Il wording dei contributi allo Zero draft secondo lo Stakeholder Forum
Il Forum ha elaborato il Database con il relativo Manuale. La lettura dell'intero documento dà un quadro esauriente della provenienza, dell'estensione e della qualità dei contributi pervenuti alla CSD.

Stakeholder Forum and Commonwealth Secretariat launch
"A Pocket Guide to Sustainable Development Governance "
04 March 2011
The
guide was initiated by Stakeholder Forum and the Commonwealth Secretariat in
response to the perceived ‘knowledge gap’ on the history and dynamics of
global governance for sustainable development. (>
scarica la guida)
As the ‘institutional framework for sustainable development’ has been identified as one of the two core themes for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD 2012), it is hoped that the guide will provide the necessary background information on global sustainable development governance to allow both governmental and non-governmental stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the key issues more comprehensively.
As the topic of 'sustainable development governance' is potentially vast, the guide has been broken down into four distinct sections:
Concepts for Sustainable Development Governance,
Global Institutions for Sustainable Development Governance,
Reform Proposals for Sustainable Development Governance,
Processes for Sustainable Development Governance

Sustainable Development Governance towards Rio+20:
Framing the Debate
by Jan-Gustav Strandeneas
"Good governance at the local, national and international levels is perhaps the single most important factor in promoting development and advancing the cause of peace", (Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the UN)
The issue of governance has become increasingly prominent at all levels over recent years - in many ways the achievement of good governance has become the major focus of international development, equal to and in some cases surpassing more specific concerns around democracy and human rights. Whilst this focus on governance has been welcome, it has presented some challenges in terms of defining what ‘good governance’ looks like – indeed, discussions around governance invariably become heated when the seemingly unobtrusive prefix ‘good’ is added as a qualifier.
There is general consensus that, whilst governance structures and processes may reflect the overriding political realities of any given context, equally systems of governance must be aspirational, forward-looking and operational, as well as adhering to a normative framework that encompasses the best qualities of democracy. As such, concepts such as participation, transparency and accountability must be at the heart of good governance.
However, with a broader acceptance of certain principles or concepts, come further development of these, or criticism, objections and substitutions. The engagement of stakeholders is an illustrative example. A stakeholder can broadly be defined as an actor with a stake in the decision-making process. Yet many claim that this word obscures power dynamics attached to levels of participation, and fails to take necessary account of the contextual power of different actors – can a multinational company be considered an ‘equal stakeholder’ alongside an NGO representing marginalised people, given the vast disparities in their existing levels of influence? Furthermore, in the case of the UNCSD there are 9 ‘Major Groups’ of civil society, though many find that this is reductionist approach that is not inclusive enough. Many have also raised questions around the effectiveness of engagement and consultation in the pursuit of ‘good governance’, whether it represents genuine collective decision-making, or is more often used as ‘window-dressing’.
Clearly there are a number of questions around what constitutes good governance, and this paper will not attempt to arrive at an all-inclusive definition on governance. Rather it will set the stage for a discussion that will explore some of the many ways in which governance is used in connection with sustainable development. It is the explicit hope that the document will inspire a range of actors to engage with the debate on international sustainable development governance, to further develop the concept, broaden its usefulness and strengthen its operability (> leggi l'intero documento).
