RIO OR EARTH SUMMIT 1992
(Rio Declaration on Environment and Development)
The most revolutionary step in the present decade was the "Rio- Summit, 1992". It is also known as the 'Earth Summit'.
It is the third International Conference/Conference on Environment held at Rio De Janeiro, the capital of Brazil from 3rd to 14th June, 1992. It is the largest convention in the history of international relations. About 20,000 delegates from 178 states/nations attended the conference and hence it is called as the "Earth Summit". Maurice Strong, the U.N.C.E.D. (United Nations Conference on Environment and Development) Chief described it as "Parliament of the Planet".
A declaration under the head "The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, 1992" was passed in the conference. The document produced at the Earth Summit, as it is called, has 40 chapters, having 800 pages. It reaffirmed Stockholm Declaration, 1972 seeking to build upon it with the goal of establishing a new and equitable global partnership and promotion of friendly relations among the member states.
