The Earth Summit 1992

Abstract

Environment can not be divided on the basis of boundaries of the countries and no individual or country can remain immune to the environmental consequences of development. Protection of the local as well as the global environment must form an integral part of the development process in an increasingly interdependent world. The United Nations is to host a conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June, 1992. The Rio Conference, popularly known as the "Earth Summit" will be financed by United Nations and some other agencies. The paper also describes purpose, reason, expected outcome and hope of "Earth Summit".
