Participation de REEDS à la conférence "Planet under pressure 2012"

20 years have passed since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. 20 years of efforts to better understand, inform, and improve the relationships between our societies and our planet's coastal zones. These efforts have crystallized into tangible outcomes in the forms of improvements in environmental culture and international agreements upheld by national and transnational coastal zone plans, protocols, and conventions.

 

While moving forward with these national and international efforts, we realize that the balance between development and stewardship is still broken, and many more efforts are needed to create a harmonious relationship between the use of knowledge in society and our planet's coastal zones. Through the active participation of 115 researchers from 30 countries, a baseline document has been created in order to participate in the construction of the “focused political document” for the Rio+20 outcomes.
