"21. We recognize that changes in consumption and production
patterns must
lie at the heart of the transition towards a sustainable UN/ECE
region; with
concern we note that developments in the countries with economies
in
transition may have the effect of duplicating unsustainable
consumption
patterns in other parts of the region." (from the Ministerial
Declaration)
