The Earth Summit
Preview Language:
English
Description
In June 1992, delegates, environmentalists and media people from 178 nations gathered in Rio de Janeiro for the largest UN conference ever held - the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. Known as “The Earth Summit", its aim was to put the concept of sustainable development at the forefront of our concerns and to seek common action to protect the planet from environmental degradation that even threatens to change the global climate. More than a hundred heads of state attended the Conference to share their views on the environment and to sign a range of unprecedented agreements. In "The Earth Summit", a 28-minute video, UN Television follows the Conference from the first to the last day, listens in on the often heated debates and captures the kaleidoscopic images of two weeks in Rio that changed the world.
