"It is always a bad sign when a UN conference ends on time: if anything substantive is at stake, these unwieldy gatherings of 190 governments invariably overrun, only reaching resolution in the early hours of the morning. So it says much about the inconsequentiality of the agreement in Rio that it was finalised even before the meeting began."
Green on Green action.

New Report: WWF's Failing Credibility
Why WWF’s Rio +20 Program to ‘Green’ the Global Economy is Delusional
Melbourne, Australia – The pro-development NGO, World Growth, today released a new report, which concludes WWF is wholly out of touch with the real world. The report – Is WWF Delusional? – was released as part of World Growth’s “Road to Rio” series ahead of the Rio +20 Conference for Sustainable Development. The report argues that WWF wants the global economy shaped by ecology, not economics, and justifies this with models built on flights of fancy, not science, and numbers that are factually inaccurate.
