The Government is aware of United Nations Conference on Sustainable
Development held in June 2012 at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil wherein it was
decided to initiate the inter-governmental process for developing global
SDGs. The Open Working Group (OWG) has been formed by United Nations
General Assembly on 22/01/2013 in which India is member of troika
consisting of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The OWG has met for four
times so far and India was represented by Permanent Mission of India
(PMI), New York. This was stated by Shrimati Jayanthi Natarajan Minister
of State (Independent Charge) for Environment and Forests, in a written
reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
