Rio +20 and the state of global environmental governance

What this episode covers

Guest : Bo Kjellén and Maurice Strong June 3 2012 Twenty years after the watershed Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, later this month the “Rio +20” UN Conference on Sustainable Development will set the global environmental agenda for the years ahead. Ambassador Bo Kjellén played a key role in the preparatory process leading up to the original Rio conference, and was instrumental in the negotiations that resulted in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and other major achievements of the Earth Summit. Ambassador Kjellén joins Think Globally Radio this week to provide insight into 20 years of environmental diplomacy and some of the key aspects of the upcoming Rio +20 summit. This week’s episode of Think Globally Radio, the last before summer holidays, also includes a recent interview with Maurice Strong, a major figure in environmental diplomacy who served as secretary general of both the Stockholm Conference in 1972 and the Rio Earth Summit in 1992.
