To the Minister of Environment, Izabella Teixeira, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio +20 should not be seen as a review of the Rio conference hosted 20 years ago, Eco 92. "This is not to revisit the past, agreed to review documents. Rio +20 is not modeled in Eco 92, but on sustainable development from two key messages: green economy and governance in a sustainable manner, "said the minister to attend on Wednesday (29) public hearing in the Senate.
Izabella Teixeira stressed that we must define the terms of application of the green economy. "Lack discuss whether the green economy leads to social inclusion, it actually allows the generation of jobs. Clearly does not arise, too, if developed countries are indeed willing to transfer technology. "
To the minister, the actions of Brazil in favor of preserving the environment, in setting targets for carbon emissions (a greenhouse gas) and the eradication of poverty, make the country is seen as strategic in building solutions from the conference.
"The reading of the countries is that Brazil has evolved over the past 20 years, since the Eco 92, but still has its problems and huge challenges ahead," he said. "This recognition gives Brazil the conditions to be the host, facilitator, negotiator and approach of the various peoples of the planet. That is what is expected of the country. It is not only an environmental agenda is an agenda of sustainability and development, "he added.
One of the points on which there is still no consensus as to the minister, as is the format for the restructuring of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), created 40 years ago. "At issue is the strengthening of UNEP, with a reading of that strength can be done step by step, with a management vision. The program would outline of an international agency, but there is no consensus on that. "
