The "21" in Agenda 21 refers to the original target of the 21st century where they were hoping to achieve their development goals by then. It has been affirmed and had a few modifications at subsequent UN conferences. Since it found 2000[1] was an overly optimistic date, its new timeline is targeting 2030. Its aim is to achieve global sustainable development. One major objective of the Agenda 21 initiative is that every local government should draw its own local Agenda 21. Since 2015, Sustainable Development Goals are included in the newer Agenda 2030.[citation needed]

Strong positions were presented to the Rio +20 preparatory process for a “Blue Economy” approach to be more prominently addressed. This approach has broad relevance as the Oceans, including humankind’s common heritage of the High Seas, represent in many respects the final frontier for humanity and its quest for sustainable development. Institutional efforts were made to expand the Blue aspect of the Green Economy as embodied in the “Green Economy in a Blue World” report1 but international momentum has moved beyond this..
