Strøtanker om bæredygtighed

UNEP, United Nations Environmental Programme, er en af de institutioner, som er kommet styrket ud af Rio+20. Selvom det er vege formuleringer, kan man forvente, at UNEP i de kommende år får udvidet sine arbejdsmuligheder. UNEP står centralt i en lang række processer i forhold til en global omstilling til bæredygtighed.

Jeg har her samlet seks UNEP pressekonferencer fra Rio+20. De giver tilsammen et godt billede af organisationens perspektiv og indsatsområder.
