As the final negotiations for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development Rio+20 conference get underway in Rio de Janeiro, almost 50 civil society groups have published an Open letter denouncing the UN Secretary General’s new “Sustainable Energy For All Initiative” (SEFA).

Rio+20 agrees on outcome document
Posted on June 20, 2012 at 3:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Admittedly I am totally surprised, but despite the tremendous chaos at this conference here the Governments at Rio+20 here seem to have all agreed on the attached outcome document yesterday, well in time for the High-level Carnaval that starts today.
The text consists of the text agreed until last Saturday and a lot of compromise texts crafted by the Brazilian Government the past days. Most texts are a rather bland repetition of what was already agreed upon, sometimes years ago, in…

Press statement by the Civil Society Facilitating Committee of the Rio+20 Peoples’ Summit, June 16, 2012:
It’s no coincidence that the G20 summit is taking place in Mexico on June 18-19, two days before the Rio+20 summit. Both summits are certainly very different events, above all in terms of legitimacy, transparency and multilateralism.
When the G20 announced that one of the five priorities for the summit agenda this year would…
