This means that the proposals should contain the real facts and not present a "watered-down" or better description of the situation, just to keep people from becoming upset. So, they are "cleaned-up" and often stripped of the truth to be easier to accpet. hth.

censored/cleaned up versions
Censored or edited versions. That is, versions that have been "cleaned up" to suit the official line, perhaps.
Hitler was considered a pioneer in creating propaganda material, all of which was, by definition, sanitized for the improvement of the Nazi image. Censorship is a form of sanitization. Specifically, censorship refers to a socially accepted policy of eliminating material rejected as harmful.

with the negative stuff ommitted
basically, as the other two answers say, it is a version that doesn't tell the whole story, ie doesn't tell the truth, as it has been 'cleaned up,' i.e. sanitized to omit negative information that might be detrimental to supporting the view that the author of the report wants to 'prove.'

A kind of wolf in sheep's skin proposal, see exp. below
Continuous economic growth theory and sustainable development theory are at diametrically opposite ends of the spectrum.
What this here means is that sustainable development proposals should be genuine sustainable development proposals, not proposals espousing economic growth ideals, but cleverly worded, so as to appear as sustainable development proposals.
