text: Such standards should be strict but the means to attain them flexible . Furthermore, Governments should seriously c~nsider ending subsidies which have the effect of maintaining artificially low prices for environmentally detrimental uses of energy. To stabilize emissions and to do their utmost to ensure adoption of a framework convention on climate change not later than 1992, with the necessary protocols of application, taking into account the best available scientific knowledge including the results of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Conference on Sustainable Development, Science and Policy in Bergen and the Toronto Conference, as well as I• • • A/CONF.151/PC/10 English Page 12 previous international meetings. Some countries have adopted as a preliminary target the ~tabilization of COz emi~~ions at the pre~ent levels by the_year 2000 and invite other countries to follow suit. To ensure appropriate levels of support for the development and use of renewable energy technologies, and a commitment to the scientific community for their research and development efforts in the transition to a sustainable energy future. That individuals, particularly in the ECE countries, recognize their contribution to atmospheric pollution through their daily lives. Transportation should shift from road to rail, public transportation and the use of bicycles should be promoted. New cars, buses and trucks should be equipped with the best available technology for the reduction of emissions and increased fuel efficiency. 49. Industry would remain an essential provider for human needs. Yet it must adapt rapidly and shift to a rational and efficient approach to sound resource use, pollution prevention and waste minimization. Sustainable industrial development was possible and steps to achieve it could include: Further studies of the implications and possible use of concepts such as best available technology without entailing excessive costs, critical loads, emission quotas, and strictest standards. Audits as a management tool to check that environmental equipment, 
analysis: The text primarily focuses on sustainable development, emphasizing the need for strict standards and flexible means to attain them. It discusses various measures to reduce emissions and promote renewable energy, as well as the importance of industries adapting to a more sustainable approach. The text also touches on transportation and individual actions. These themes suggest that the text is concerned with environmental and economic issues.
