* Peoples Sustainability TreatyPeoples Sustainability Treaty
Time: 3:30 pm
Failure at Rio+20 cannot be accepted; failure of the official process should not become an obstacle towards successful evolving of a global movement to lead the transition towards sustainable futures on earth. CSOs shall not make a historical mistake of simply being reactive to a weak international agenda on sustainable development; they need to assume their rightful place in global citizenry and provide the vision, leadership, and commitment towards reinforcing a strong agenda and action plan to forge ahead in a transition towards sustainable futures for all, including both humans and biodiversity.
The Peoples’ Sustainability Treaties brings together global civil society to develop an independent, collective outcome for a sustainable future beyond Rio+20. These independent collective agreements are produced by people’s organizations in parallel to the official UNCSD2012 and to further to strengthen the People’s Summit Rio+20 and all other independent efforts towards creating people’s visions and voices. The treaties are essentially a forward looking process and targets a future beyond Rio+20 and will become a living document towards planning the transition action towards a sustainable world order.
This launch event, the first in series at Rio+20, will bring together leaders of Civil Society Organizations from across the world to engage in a dialogue towards advancing a Global Citizens Movement!
