In June 1992, an important gathering was held in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro Heads of state
from over 100 countries attended the first Earth Summit, a special conference aimed at confronting
environmental issues on a worldwide scale One of the central themes of the conference was the idea of
"sustainable development": people were trying to find ways of continuing worldwide economic growth while
at the same time making sure that the environment would not be destroyed in the process
There was great concern that activities such as building more factories and roads, which are needed for
economic development, would cause so much damage to the environment that future generations would not be able to correct it Problems such as deforestation, global warming, and air and water pollution were all discussed
in great detail
All the delegates to the conference agreed to Agenda 21, a document which presented suggestions for ways to achieve sustainable development In addition, more than 100 nations signed Climate Change
Convention In this agreement, the industrialised nations agreed to reduce the emission of gases that trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere Unfortunately, when we look at the state of affairs today, we see that even though these emissions have actually decreased in some countries, overall not enough has been done to prevent damage to the earth’s atmosphere Nevertheless, many people feel that the Earth Summit Conference raised awareness of
