[edit] change the title back!

I don't know how to get the title to revert back to World Summit on Sustainable Development, but that was and continues to be the official title of this event, not "Earth Summit 2002." The whole thing is confusing enough as it is without adding personal ideas about what it SHOULD have been called. Please, can someone fix this?

Did he send a representative (Powell) or not? (inconsistent. compare World Summit on Sustainable Development)Ben T/C 12:19, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, he did actually-see this link. I don`t know really what was his role exactly. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldsummit2002/story/0,12264,785902,00.html

[edit] merging articles

I would be for merging this article with the one mentionned (Rio Conference). The Johannesburg conference (or WSSD, World Sumit on Sustainable Developement)is often quoted as "Rio+10", which referes to the WSSD`s commitment towards principles formalated in the UNCED (United Nation Conference on Environment and Development, beter known as "Rio Summit" or "Earth Summit").On the oficial website (http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/) the WSSD Final Declaration can be found (http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/documents/summit_docs/131302_wssd_report_reissued.pdf)were it is stated p.14 (Plan of Implementation): "The present plan will further build on the achievements made since the UNCED and expedite the realisation of the remaining goals".

Aloys

- I agree, I would be for editing this article however as it's clearly been written by someone with a heavy prejudice against the United Nations.


[edit] Rio+10

Actually "Rio+10" was the name given for one of the preparatory meetings, BEFORE the Johannesburg meetings. It focused on a review of the past ten years since the Earth Summit, as a basis for the discussions about the NEXT ten years at WSSD. And PLEASE do NOT merge the WSSD article with UNCED or Earth Summit 1992. This history is complex and confusing enough for people without mixing everything up.
