Sustainable Development
(commonly called the "Earth
Summit") to non-governmental
organizations of the system
United Nations, NGOs, among
others, not forgetting to citizens
and civil society organizations,
it is not enough with the
participation of governments, to
build sustainable development
it is required the participation of
the population, community
groups, the companies,
organizations and academia. In
order to encourage
participation it has been
created an official platform
where you can share new
ideas and in which there is
information on
The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992 laid the foundations. Rio +20 is a new opportunity to think globally so that all
can act locally to ensure our common future.
Rio+20" is the short name for
the United Nations Conference
on Sustainable Development
which took place in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil in June 2012.
Rio+20 Rio +20 constitutes a
project that involves all the
system of the U.N., which give
us the opportunity to change
some habits, to face the poverty,
to work for avoiding the
environmental destruction and
build a bridge to the future, It
allows us to think with global
judgement.
For the realization of Rio +20
are three principal members,
ranging from governments and
bosses of state gathered at the
United Nations Conference on
Controlling climate change;
Designing a new architecture of global governance;
The transition to a new
model of civilisation.
It is considered that to face
these challenge will require
new ways of building
experience and analyze
proposals to promote them,
focusing on three major
efforts, which promote the
integration of all the project
countries, dialogue and
exchange of proposals this
with order to benefit more
people around the world.
In official talks of Rio +20 was
discussed two main topics:
how to build a green economy
to achieve sustainable
development and get people
out of poverty, and how to
improve international
how the project has development.
As it is seen, Rio +20, its
obejctive had covered many
topics for the benefit of the
population and has established
key issues, the first of which talk
about ethics we need to build a
society capable of caring for the
environment, the second point is
focused on the creation of a new
form of global governance, while
the third proposes to search for a
new economic order to face the
poverty.
From that established the three
main challenges of world order,
they are:
In the last 20 years there have
been many successful
examples of implementation of
sustainable development in
energy, agriculture, urban
planning and production and
consumption:
In France, an estimated
90,000 jobs were created in
green sectors between 2006
and 2008, mostly in the fields of
energy conservation and the
development of renewable
energy.
In Uganda, a transition to
organic agriculture has
generated revenue and income
for smallholder farmers and
benefited the economy, society
and environment.
In Kenya, innovative finance
mechanisms have stimulated
new
coordination for sustainable
development.
Rio +20 is an opportunity to
define pathways to a sustainable
future development, with more
jobs, better security, cleaner
energy and a better standard of
living. Therefore its
importance is that we want to
build a better world for our
children and grandchildren, and
we can achieve this only through
sustainable development, which
as said Sha Zukang, Secretary-
General of the Rio +20
Conference,
"The sustainable development is not an option! It is the only way that allows humanity to share a decent life on this one planet. Rio +20 provides our generation the opportunity to go that way. "
Rio +20 talks about the key
challenges with which will
reduce poverty and
instability, we will prevent
the degradation of the
planet. The existence of this
project will allow us to
strengthen environmental
awareness in the world.
investments in
renewable energy
sources, including solar,
wind, small hydro,
biogas and municipal
waste energy generating
income and
employment.
► In China, steps to
shift to a low-carbon
growth strategy based
on the development of
renewable energy
sources have created
jobs, income and
revenue streams for
promising low-carbon
industries.

Ideally, the Summit should produce a
pluricultural vision of the political and
ethical foundations that will be able
to transform the architecture of world
governance and reinforce the feeling
of belonging in a developing global
community.
The authors of this invitation are
proposing, among others, to develop
proposal papers, support meetings in
the five continents, organize an
international seminar.
Three actors:
1. The governments assembled at
the official conference organized by
the UN
2. The NGOs of the UN system (
3. Civil-society organizations.
independent scientists, unions, youth
organizations, NGOs, etc.
(assembled at

summit’s objectives are : to
secure renewed political
commitment to sustainable
development ; to assess progress
towards internationally agreed
goals on sustainable
development and to address new
and emerging challenges. The
Summit will also focus on two
specific themes : a green
economy in the context of poverty
eradication and sustainable
development, and an institutional
framework for sustainable
development.Is an invitation to

in order to defeat poverty in the world?
Proposals for the implementation of
sustainable societies in the early
twentyfirst century.

One of the initiatives that arose was
the "Day of Action against the
Canadian mining industry."
This is initiative is one that tries to call
to organize communities to discover
the practices that have been going on
exploitation.
Of resources on a larger scale.
Organizations that were made along
with all communities affected by all
resource extraction industry in
Canada, decide to hold a day of action
this first Continental August 2012 for
all that we are called we demand an
end to the mining practices carried
resources held in mines.
All organizations working with
communities that are together from
Canada to Argentina undertake
protests which will include
demonstrations, radio coverage,
letter-writing campaigns and other
alternative and innovative actions of
protest and action, all this in front of
the corporate offices of mining
companies and especially in the
Canadian embassy.
¿Because this happens in Canada?
All this is happening in Canada, is
because 60% of mining
companies in the world many of
these companies appears in
Toronto in securities bag. Most of
these companies have too much
investment in what is still 3,200
projects on resource exploitation,
is why Canada is the country with
the largest share industry
extraction of natural resources.
Another reason why we do this in
Canada is because financial
markets of Toronto and Vancouver
are representing one of the largest
global sources of mining
companies are those that promote
the extraction and in turn carried
out the development of their
projects.
Initiatives in Rio + 20
All actions carried out in the extraction
of natural resources, caused a huge
impact on the territories, communities
and everything in life.
The worst consequences that arose
throughout the natural resource
exploration and exploitation especially
caused the mobilization of
communities, causing destruction of
survival sustainable everything, where
in turn managed to cause health
problems too of individuals, aggravating
the violation of human rights.
All this achievement mineral
exploitation large scale caused a great
loss in biodiversity

The demands they are asking are the
divestment, regulation, cece to
complicity, community consultation
mechanisms, life before profit .
What we are calling on divestment
is that the Canadian government
has to take public funds of
companies engaged in the
extraction of natural resources
and in turn require to withdraw the
funds invest in free education.
Regulation In demanding that the
government should establish
standards of accountability to
Canadian companies, in turn
legislation has to be established
must penalize those companies
that are involved in the violation of
human Rights.
In complicity cece demand that
the Canadian government does
not allow public institutions to be
used for campaigning but these
are organized by companies
engaged in the extraction of
natural resources.
In the community consultation mechanisms require
governments in the region to
respect all the rights groups
that have been internationally
recognized rights to prior
consultation for those
indigenous communities that
are being affected by the
mining industry.
In life before profit should
require removing all the free
trade agreements are those
that protect the right of
corporations which are those
that are above life.
