One of the main outcomes of the Rio +20 conference was to develop a set of:
Sustainable Development Goals
The Rio +20 conference, formally the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, was held in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, twenty years after the 1992 Earth Summit.
A key outcome of Rio +20 was the agreement, recorded in the outcome document 'The Future We Want', to launch a process for developing a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals were subsequently adopted in 2015 as the 2030 Agenda.
The Millennium Development Goals were the earlier framework agreed in 2000, not an outcome of Rio +20. A National Development Strategy and a National Land Restoration Strategy are country-level plans, not global outcomes of this UN conference. Therefore the defining outcome of Rio +20 was the initiation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Correct answer: Sustainable Development Goals
