Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development

Sustainable development emphasizes a holistic, equitable and far-sighted approach to decision-making at all levels. It emphasizes not just strong economic performance but intragenerational and intergenerational equity. It rests on integration and a balanced consideration of social, economic and environmental goals and objectives in both public and private decision-making.Go to: http://www.uncsd2012.org/index.php?menu=62 for information, or to: http://webtv.un.org/  for livewebfeed from the UN conference.
