Which of the following UN commissions is responsible for reviewing progress in the implementation of Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development?

AUnited Nations Disarmament Commission
BUnited Nations Statistical Commission
CUnited Nations Commission on Sustainable Development ✓ Correct
DUnited Nations Commission on Human Rights
Correct answer: (C) United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development
Explanation

The United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development was set up to review progress on Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration.

The Disarmament Commission deals with arms control, not with environment and development follow-up.

The Statistical Commission coordinates global statistics rather than sustainability review.

The Commission on Human Rights handled rights issues and did not track Agenda 21.

The sustainable development body arose directly from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit.

It was later replaced by the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in 2013.
