Book excerpt: A muckraking expose of corporate greenwashing and of the disturbing trend toward U.N.-corporate "partnerships" that give corporations good PR without requiring them to improve their behavior. In the decade between the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 and the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, transnational corporations have increasingly used their resources to deter regulation, suppress opposing voices, and try to buy civil society's acquiescence with slick PR. But we don't have to acquiesce, and neither should the U.N. The United Nations may not be perfect, argue Kenny Bruno and Joshua Karliner, but in its principles and structure it has the potential to counter the WTO-a potential it is squandering, say the authors. earthsummit.biz exposes the current state of corporate rhetoric vs. corporate reality and debunks the paradigm of transnational "responsibility" and self-regulation. It contains 18 corporate case studies, as well as the complete texts of the U.N.'s toothless Global Compact with corporations, and the Global Compact's civil society counterpart, the Citizens Compact on the United Nations and Corporations.

Book excerpt: 'As we start the preparations for the Earth Summit in 2002, 10 years from Rio and 30 years from Stockholm, we need to set targets and dates that are realistic to deliver the change that is needed. There will also need to be a debate on the international machinery to achieve what we want, and 2002 will be significant in setting out the direction. This book has drawn in some of the key people who are working to make 2002 a significant event' FROM THE FOREWORD BY KLAUS TOPFER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME AND CENTRE FOR HUMAN SETTLEMENTS At the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, world leaders adopted a comprehensive programme of action for implementing sustainable development worldwide. As preparations for Earth Summit 2002 proceed, leading players from around the world present a frank assessment of progress to date. They set goals and describe mechanisms that will enable the international community to complete the tasks set in Rio and prepare for new challenges and opportunities. This book will be a catalyst for the public and political momentum required to push forward the global sustainable development agenda.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UN World Summit on Sustainable Development, held in September 2002 in Johannesburg, saw over 100 national leaders, including Tony Blair, meet to agree an action plan to tackle continuing global problems relating to poverty and resource use. The summit saw three key outcomes established: a political declaration, an implementation plan, and a range of partnership initiatives. The Committee's report concludes that the UK's performance in the Summit negotiations, although effective, was undermined by an inadequate communications strategy and reported indecision over the attendance of the Environment Minister. Support is noted for the Government's decision to mainstream its Summit commitments into departmental work programmes through existing mechanisms, such as public service agreements and a revised UK sustainable development strategy, rather than introduce a separate implementation process. The importance of continued monitoring and reporting procedures to assess progress is judged to be crucial. The Committee supports international calls to strengthen UN structures, such as the UNEP, which need to be sufficiently robust in order to ensure the momentum of the Johannesburg Summit is not lost.
