Brice Lalonde : "Rio+20 must be a summit for action"

Executive Coordinator of Rio+20, Brice Lalonde stresses the idea that water is now understood as a nexus on the way towards the Earth Summit in Brazil this June. He warns: "On the road towards Rio+20, policy-makers  must give a mandate to diplomats to commit to concrete actions." In the global economic crisis context, Mr Lalonde underlines that a transition to green economy can play a central role in the economic recovery. "In 1992, we have laid the foundation. Today we know the solutions and we have now to implement them", he concludes.
