Rio Conference (1992) • Results: • Climate convention: CO2 emission • Biodiversity convention: preservation of the genetic heritage of animals and plants • Statement of Forest: The Convention has been impeded by the holders of most countries of tropical forests • Statement of Rio: 27 integrating environment and development principles • Local Agenda 21: global action plan that identifies the characteristics of sustainable development and the means to achieve

  9. Local Agenda 21 Collection of intentions to initiate sustainable development policies through consensus of the entire civil society (population, institutions, businesses, etc..) At national, regional and sub-regional level. Local actors must become active partners in decision making concerning their own territory governance processes (voluntary choices shared "bottom-up) and partnerships (selected subsidiaries and implemented by all players on the territory).
