Concludes that increasing attention needs to be paid to the provision of new and additional financial resources to developing countries for environmental programmes and projects so as to ensure that their development priorities are not adversely affected and that such provision should be kept under more effective and continuous review; recommends that, during the preparatory process for the proposed UN conference on environment and development and at the proposed conference itself, careful consideration should be given to this question with a view to enabling the conference to establish modalities for effective monitoring or review, in order to provide a factual basis for promoting appropriate action.
