ACTO & RIO+20 Opportunity for political positioning ACTO should play a role that allows it to be an Organization that is internationally recognized within the Member Countries and in the international environment as a reference in regional cooperation, discussions and positions on topics of the international agenda related to the Amazon, and sharing experiences, guided by the principles of full sovereignty, respect and harmony with nature, integral sustainable development and reducing asymmetries between the nations of the region, as it is established in its Vision (2010).

Draft Declaration The Member Countries of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization: Recognizing that the Rio Conference of `92 meant the rise of a new development paradigm has not completely overcome the major challenges to deal with poverty worldwide. Therefore, the Rio+ 20 conference is an adequate opportunity to assess and determine actions and measures that could attain the goals of sustainable development, thus the relevance that must be given to the Amazon region for its contribution and significance of its biodiversity, climate stability and its own development. PROPOSAL TOWARDS RIO+20

Draft Declaration Inspired by the principles of sovereignty, solidarity, cooperation, participation of the Amazonian society, respect and harmony with nature, integrated sustainable development and reducing asymmetries among the nations of the Amazon region. Aware of its responsibility to provide a regional perspective for the process of discussion on the Rio+20 conferences, decided to adopt these actions: DECLARATION Affirm their conviction that a full sustainable development in the Amazon region in particular, shall be achieved by the balance between the use of resources, its protection and conservation thus respecting the equity that assures its integrated sustainable development, besides the effective presence of the State under its various levels of government and of Amazonian populations with the full exercise of its rights and obligations within the framework of the national legislation and international agreements. PROPOSAL TOWARDS RIO+20

Draft Declaration Issue a call for the promotion of a sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, in harmony with nature and the environment and taking into consideration the internal regulations of the Member Countries, respecting the rights of those countries to use their own resources to ensure their welfare and progress. Emphasize the support and the contribution of South-South cooperation as an instrument for the reduction of the asymmetries and for properly coordinated regional action, with a view to strengthening these initiatives, providing new and additional resources and an effective transference of technology. Reaffirm their commitment to maintain the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization as a permanent forum of cooperation, exchange and knowledge aimed at the reduction of regional asymmetries among the Member Countries, accompanying the national processes of socio- economic progress, thus permitting a gradual incorporation of those territories in their respective national economies, promoting the adoption of regional cooperation actions that would result in the improvement of the quality of life of the inhabitants of the Amazon. PROPOSAL TOWARDS RIO+20

Draft Declaration Reaffirm that the regional vision of conservation and sustainable use of the natural renewable resources with the focus upon sustainable development and the improvement of the quality of life of the inhabitants of the Amazon are crosscutting regional axes. Recognize the challenges that countries face jointly in the pursuit of sustainable development, where transfer of technology, innovation and finance must be part of the agenda of international and regional discussions in the quest for mechanisms that contribute to its implementation. Congratulate themselves for the adoption at the 10 th Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Amazonian Cooperation Treaty Organization of the Amazon Strategic Cooperation Agenda, which could become a model for building consensus and collaboration to achieve the new goals of development, including institutional strengthening. PROPOSAL TOWARDS RIO+20
