The Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992 marked a major landmark for international environmental action. The aim was ‘to produce a broad agenda and a new blueprint for international action on environmental and development issues that would help guide international cooperation and development policy in the twenty-first century’. It was agreed that sustainable development was possible for all and member states should strive towards it.
Now, 30 years on from the Rio Summit, the Global Development Hub and Grantham Institute at Imperial College London gather some of the key figures in the UN to reflect on where we are with the outcomes of Rio in today’s world.
This is a truly international event, one you don’t want to miss!
Link to online event will be shared to registered participants closer to the time.
Please note that this event will be recorded and uploaded to the Imperial College London YouTube page.
