Sustainable development cannot be achieved by government action alone. It requires the participation of all sectors of societies. At the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, a document called Agenda 21 was released that, among other things, formalized groups whose contribution is crucial to making sustainable development a reality. Since then, these nine groups have represented the voice of their respective constituencies within UN meetings, including all subsequent Earth Summits.
I have been following PRiMEtime's blog for a little while now, and thought Id share this as I still get questions about RIO +20. I hope you will enjoy Giselle's writing.
Do we honestly think that we are going to get any concrete eventualities out of this junket for world leaders?
