Decisions reached at Rio+20 should be based on the best available
scientific, engineering and technological knowledge to deal with green
economy and sustainability management issues. This knowledge should be
truly interdisciplinary.
The Scientific &Technological community has a comprehensive programme
of activities in the preparation of its participation at the Rio+20 Conference,
aiming at providing scientific knowledge, engineering expertise and
appropriate technologies that are timely, up-to-date, and targeted
specifically to the objectives of such Conference.
These activities have a regional focus to bring to the fore the specific needs
and concerns in different areas of the world.
The Scientific &Technological community is committed to make available
considerable effort and significant expertise to Rio+20.
Thank you Mr Chair
