Amsterdam: Greenpeace International has termed Rio+20 Earth Summit as an “epic failure”.
In a statement released to the press, organisation’s Executive Director, Kumi Naidoo said, “The future we want has gotten a little further away today. Rio+20 has turned into an epic failure. It has failed on equity, failed on ecology and failed on economy.”
Naidoo said that people are now being present with a 'common vision' of a polluter’s charter that will cook the planet, empty the oceans and wreck the rain forests.
He asserted that the only “sensible thing” left on the table until today was the launch of an Oceans Rescue Plan for the High Seas.
“This too has now been killed by the US, Canada, Russia and Venezuela who want to mine the seas for private profit with impunity and exploit the resources that belong to all humanity,” Naidoo pointed-out.
