From 20 to 22 June 2012, the UN conference for sustainable development, Rio+20,took place in Rio de Janeiro. The location of the conference has a symbolic relevance, as it is the same place where standards for global climate and environmental policies were set at the Earth Summit 20 years ago. In 1992 the international community committed itself for the first time to the general principal of sustainable development and adopted the Agenda 21 action programme. The conference also adopted the Rio declaration and the UN conventions on climate change, on biological diversity and to combat desertification.
