identified and recognized/ recognised, made part of the group's agenda Explanation: This is a curious expression. Since it refers to a challenge, I'm assuming that twenty years ago the subject of sustainable development became a part of the group's agenda. If it meant identifying and publishing, as Martin suggests, the proper expression would be "laid out" in a document and there should be a document dating back to that time that defines a policy or makes a statement defining objectives. If you can't track down such a document (or if such a document is not mentioned elsewhere in text you're working with), I would not be so explicit. Either the writer has confused "laid" with "laid down" or he/she is noting that the group first became aware of this challenge twenty years ago and began to study and address this issue. |
