Rio +20, a major international environmental conference begins in Brazil on Wednesday, billed by its organizers as a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to safeguard our planet for generations to come.
For three days from June 20, scores of world leaders
and tens of thousands of people from all over the world will descend on Rio de
Janeiro in the hope of reaching consensus on how to achieve this.
Some critics have already dismissed the event as a
hugely expensive talking shop that stands little more chance of succeeding than
previous environmental summits. Others are more optimistic.
