UN Conference on Environment and Development
This document is built upon a Listing of Financing Mechanisms which was prepared for Governments as they were developing Agenda 21, during the third preparatory meeting (prepcom) of the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, held in 1992). The idea for this listing originated with Ambassador John Bell of Canada, who was then the Chairman of the Governmental Working Group on Financing.

This present listing is not meant to be exhaustive, but to give an idea of the vast array of resources available and the degree of creativity that exists. It is hoped that what is mentioned here will spark further creativity in creating new resources and implementing those listed.

Many of the resources listed are quite complex.

The Appendices provide further details to better comprehend these.

The present document has grown, if not in scope then in its diversity. It has been infused with the work of Commons Action for the United Nations and its successor, the NGO Major Group Commons Cluster, a network of individuals and representatives of ECOSOC accredited NGOS. 

Both the original version and the present one were compiled by Dr. Lisinka Ulatowska, Co-founder of both above mentioned networks as well as the NGO Task Force on Financing.

The former document and the present one both focus on the capacity building phase and describe how resources can be unleashed and structures developed to shift from our present debt-based economy to a more sustainable economy and community centered on the well being of all people and nature and fed by a basic income for all.
