"Today, 1.4 billion people live in conditions of extreme poverty and a sixth of the world’s population suffers from malnutrition. In 2050, in other words tomorrow, the planet is expected to have at least 9 billion inhabitants. That will put more pressure on our limited supply of natural resources and the management of the waste flows that we produce. Furthermore, even though climate change poses a serious threat to the world’s population, greenhouse gas emissions unfortunately continue to increase. We urgently need to change our lifestyles and our development models, by finally moving in the direction of sustainability. The text of this resolution calls for sustainable development to be at the forefront of all the EU’s processes and policies. I can only support this motion. It also calls on both the Commission and the Council to ensure that a strong and unified EU position is submitted to the UN as input to the negotiations starting early in 2012 in Rio, and to ensure that the Rio+20 Summit results not only in statements of goodwill, but also in tangible actions and quantifiable and measurable objectives."@en1
