UK Environmental Audit Committee - Eighth Report Preparations for the Rio +20 Summit

UK Environmental Audit Committee - Eighth Report Preparations for the Rio +20 Summit
“18. Globally, there has been inadequate progress on sustainable development since the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. There is still far to travel. Some 'planetary boundaries' having been breached, and others approaching, make the task more urgent than ever. It is a difficult message to convey to an often sceptical audience, but that makes it all the more important that the Government use the run up to the Rio+20 Conference next year to raise the profile of the case for action, both internationally and at home.“
