1. The Earth Summit was a major United Nations conference held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 June to 14 June 1992.
2. Green Cross International Organisation.
3. From 3 June to 14 June 1992.
4. The first Earth Summit was held in Rio de Janeiro.
5. In 2012, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development will also be held in Rio, and is also commonly called Rio+20 or Rio Earth Summit 2012. It will be held from June 20 – June 22nd.
6. The purpose of Earth Summit is to represent a turning point in the way we look at environment and development. It is also aimed at attaining sustainable development.
7. The most important decisions made by Earth Summit were the following: Framework Convention on Climate Change, Convention on Biological Diversity, Forest Management and Agenda 21.
8. I think it is necessary because we need to find ways to look after our earth and use resources in a way that they are sustainable, otherwise we could run out of resources and then there would be wars and other crisis’s.
9. Since the Earth Summit in Rio, there have been broad efforts to implement sustainable development by governments, international organizations, local authorities, business, citizen groups and individuals. Agenda 21 is still a powerful long-term goal for balancing economic and social needs with the capacity of the earth’s resources and ecosystems.
10. Sustainable development is linked with Earth Summit because in order to keep resources on earth without them running out, we need to use them in a sustainable way so the earth still has that resource for its own natural needs, like trees provide oxygen during the day and water is one of the most important resources, so if we use resources in a sustainable way, it will be better for the earth.
