Extra Negotiations lead to limited Success for UN Environmental Conference

After more than a week of extra negotiations on the final outcome document for the UN’s upcoming environmental conference in Rio de Janiero, little progress has been made.

The UN commission charged with providing a negotiated document countries can agree upon during the Rio +20 conference at the end of this month was still a long ways away from being achieved this past Saturday, the final day of the last round of “informal-informal” negotiations. Countries will now make their way to Rio with an extremely contentious document and may or may not reach any significant conclusions by the final day of the conference, the 22nd of June.
