"The aim of the measures that will be discussed and adopted during the Rio+20 Summit in June 2012 is to set realistic and achievable medium- and long-term objectives.
Twenty years have passed since the first summit, and the world is still confronted with two major challenges: improving the lives of people worldwide and relieving the pressure on the environment. It is becoming increasingly difficult to meet those challenges, given that there seems to have been more and more natural disasters in recent years. Many of them can be attributed to human activities that have no regard for the surrounding environment.
Let us consider, for example, the drought and desertification in the Horn of Africa, and the malnutrition that is currently affecting more than 13 million people. Taking action and upholding the political commitment to support sustainable development and the green economy is, and must continue to be, the political line followed by the European Union, to stop the climate problems that are following each other at an alarming rate from getting worse, and to help lift some 1.4 billion people out of a situation of extreme poverty."@en1
