This summer, 20 years on from the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, government representatives from around the world will meet at a ‘Rio+20’ summit from 20th - 22nd June 2012 to discuss sustainable development.
Since 1992, there has been a realisation that economic and social progress is dependant on protecting the environment rather than being in conflict with each other. However, we now need to remind our politicians of the importance of sustainable development, having a green economy and facing the challenges of the future.
A coalition of groups including Friends of the Earth within the Stop Climate Chaos coalition are supporting this initiative.
