"This motion for a resolution, tabled following the oral questions pursuant to Rule 115(5) of the Rules of Procedure, concerns the forthcoming United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, better known as the Rio+20 Summit, which is to take place on 2-4 June next year in Rio de Janeiro. Specifically, it concerns the principal goals that the European Union would like to recommend for this conference. Twenty years ago, when the first environmental summit was held in Rio de Janeiro, the world had great hopes for the future. Two decades later, now that the global economy has revealed its immense fragility, it is time for us to reflect on the exploitation of natural resources and its negative impact on many of our ecosystems. We are all worried about the health of the planet, and the greatest challenge confronting us is that of sustainable development. I welcome the adoption of this motion for a resolution, urging the EU to defend a strong position regarding the adoption of measures to reduce the risk of natural disasters and mitigate the effects of climate change."@en1
