Rio+20 Summit, Sustainability Definition, C-FACT Troublemakers
The Rio+20 Earth Summit is described as a shift from "global warming" rhetoric to "sustainability" and finance. Members of the organization C-FACT attended a pre-meeting in Brazil to ask participants to define sustainability, resulting in vague answers about "happiness" and "enough for all and forever." The hosts characterize the summit as part of an Agenda 21 plan to increase government control over resources.
