Thanks for sending, Herman. Will be interested in further reports and your reflections on the event Ellie -----Original Message----- From: Herman Greene <hfgreene@mindspring.com> To: 'Order Ecumenical Community' <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> Sent: Fri, Jun 22, 2012 6:37 am Subject: [Oe List ...] Rio +20 I am attending the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio. I have been here since June 10. The formal conference ends tomorrow. It is to me shocking that the US press is not covering this. There are 89 heads of state here, and although the Outcome Document is not pioneering, the negotiations and the actions of NGOs here are the story. The most important document produced in connection with Rio+20 is the one produced by the Secretary General's High Level Panel on Global Sustainability. It is available here: http://www.un.org/gsp/report . It has 53 recommendations and they are important, they point the way to the future and will be closely watched.
