Description
The success of the Summit in 2002, ten years after the Rio Conference on Environment and Development, is vital for the world in the 21st century. In this volume, leading participants, from Ministers, UN officials, and NGOs present a frank view of the lack of progress since Rio. They set out the goals that the international community must aim for and the means of achieving them. The book includes chapters by Nitin Desai, Gro Harlem Brundtland, John Gummer and Klaus Topfer.
