About the fundamental climate conference in Rio de Janeiro

The article analyzes the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Earth Summit, which was held in Rio de Janeiro from June 3 to June 14, 1992 and the international climate forums in Johannesburg (2002) and Rio de Janeiro (2012) that followed it with a period of 10 years. The author specifically notes that several important environmental agreements were concluded during these conferences, in addition to the opening for signature of two multilateral treaties: the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity. The main topic of the meetings was a discussion on sustainable development and ways to reverse the process of environmental degradation.
