The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) encourages and coordinates sound environmental practices
throughout the world. It grapples with ways to approach environmental problems on an international level, provides expertise
to member countries, monitors environmental conditions worldwide, develops environmental standards, and recommends
alternative energy sources. UNEP's work is guided by principles adopted at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and
Development, also known as the Earth Summit. The summit, which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was the largest such
conference ever held, attracting with more than 100 national leaders.
The major theme of the 1992 Earth Summit was sustainable economic development, meaning development that does not
use up or destroy so many of the world's natural resources that it cannot be sustained over time. The meeting produced an
overall plan, called Agenda 21, in which large developing countries promised to develop their industries with a protecting
Industrialized countries pledged to help them do that. The Earth Summit also produced major treaties on biodiversity and
global warming, although the latter treaty lacked enforcement provisions.
In 2002, UNEP sponsored the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa. This
conference sought to help developing countries undergo industrialization without harming the environment. But progress on
environmental issues is slow because proposed solutions continue to pit the interests of poorer developing countries against
those of richer industrialized nations. Most developing countries cannot afford to build an environmentally sound industrial
base, while industrialized countries are unwilling to absorb the entire cost of environmental reform.
