UN Summit Rio +20

Wednesday, January 22, 2014

In the night from Friday to Saturday until Polish ended UN Summit Rio +20. In the final declaration, representatives from nearly 200 countries agreed to within 3 years to define the objectives of sustainable development (SDG). It is talking about "green", environmentally friendly economy, which may be the answer to both the deterioration of the environment and the economic crisis. The declaration, however, does not impose anything.

Summit has also become the cause of many protests and non-governmental organizations demonstrations. In these instances contradicted the destruction of natural resources, the lack of a coherent and effective action against hunger in the world, as well as protests against the presence of the President of Iran at the conference.

Abbreviation "Rio +20" refers to the twentieth anniversary of the fateful Earth Summit in Rio in 1992.
