Written and Composed by: Juanu Voice: Luc Days Piano, Bass, Percussions, Background vocals: Juanu Produced by: Juanu The speech that can be heard on this song, is a speech made by a 13 year old gilr on The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Eco '92) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. LYRICS This is it We've reached the final line The wheel keeps spining Though we cannot see it Lovers in their beds keep loving Children in their rooms keep playing Birds with their broken wings keep singing And the wheel keeps spinning round And Everybody minds their own business While the world keeps crying out loud "Don't make me lose you" Nobody sees what will happen to us He cries because we'll leave him He's not worried that we'll kill him He's sad because he has to let us go And we will turn to dust Floating in the air And we'll become the good thing that went wrong And the wheel keeps spinning round And Everybody minds their own business While the world keeps crying out loud "Don't make me lose you" Nobody sees what will happen to us But if there's still hope Why are we closing our eyes If there's still hope Make your choice But if there's still hope Why are we shutting us down If there's still hope Shouldn't we fix what we have done?

Girl's Speech @ UN Conference on Environment and Development

The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Rio Summit, Earth Summit (or, in Portuguese, Eco '92) was a major conference held in Rio de Janeiro from June 3 to June 14, 1992. 178 governments participated, with 118 sending their heads of state or government.Some 2400 representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) attended, with 17000 people at the parallel NGO Forum, who had so-called Consultative Status. The issues addressed included: *systematic scrutiny of patterns of production ? particularly the production of toxic components, such as lead in gasoline, or poisonous waste; *alternative sources of energy to replace the use of fossil fuels which are linked to global climate change; *new reliance on public transportation systems in order to reduce vehicle emissions, congestion in cities and the health problems caused by polluted air and smog; *the growing scarcity of water. An important achievement was an agreement on the Climate Change Convention which in turn led to the Kyoto Protocol. Another was agreement to "not carry out any activities on the lands of indigenous peoples that would cause environmental degradation or that would be culturally inappropriate". The Convention on Biological Diversity was opened for signature at the Earth Summit, and made a start towards redefinition of money supply measures that did not inherently encourage destruction of natural ecoregions and so-called uneconomic growth. Twelve cities were <b>...</b>

Environmental shift urged ahead of Rio+20 Earth Summit

Just days before the United Nations Rio plus twenty conference on sustainable development, policy makers, academics, and youth are voicing the need for an environmental shift.

Save Earth Summit [1992]

The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the Rio Summit or Earth Summit was a conference held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992. The conference was to discuss issues such as pollution, water scarcity and public transportation. 172 governments participated, with 108 sending their heads of state or government. But there were major issues that were not being discussed at this conference. A group of activists living in NYC held a rally in front of the UN headquarters to highlight these issues. There was also a series of nonviolent direct actions that took place the night before in different key locations around the city to bring raise awareness about the conference and the important subjects that were not being considered. This short video was a way to consolidate all of this information. It was translated into Portuguese so it could be shown in Rio at the parallel NGO "Global Forum."

The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro was unprecedented for a UN conference, in terms of both its size and the scope of its concerns. Twenty years after the first global environment conference, the UN sought to help Governments rethink economic development and find ways to halt the destruction of irreplaceable natural resources and pollution of the planet. Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life were drawn into the Rio process. They persuaded their leaders to go to Rio and join other nations in making the difficult decisions needed to ensure a healthy planet for generations to come. The Summit's message ? that nothing less than a transformation of our attitudes and behaviour would bring about the necessary changes ? was transmitted by almost 10000 on-site journalists and heard by millions around the world. The message reflected the complexity of the problems facing us: that poverty as well as excessive consumption by affluent populations place damaging stress on the environment. Governments recognized the need to redirect international and national plans and policies to ensure that all economic decisions fully took into account any environmental <b>...</b>

Director's Cut: Together We Can Make It Happen

This video is premiering here on YouTube and is the director's cut of the Global Forum video. It was the first cut and the powers that be at the time thought I put too many indigenous people in it?!?!?! The Global Forum was the people forum and a parallel event to the heads of state conference the Rio Earth Summit (1992) also know as "Eco 92" and UNCED The United Nations Conference for Environment and Development. Again this video has never been shown before until now here on YouTube.

Severn Suzuki made this speech at UN Conference in 1992 - What have we done since then?

Severn Suzuki made this speech at UN Conference in 1992 - What have we done since then? Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki was 9 when she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Rio Summit, Earth Summit was a major conference held in Rio de Janeiro from June 3 to June 14, 1992. In case you're wondering what she's up to nowadays, she graduated from Yale in 2002, and now she's an environmental activist, and even had her own show for children on Discovery. I've searched all over the internet but couldn't find a way to contact her in the hope that maybe she could share a few words with us. If you know or happen to stumble upon an email address or something, it'd be really great.

World leaders meet at Rio+20 environment summit

The leaders of the world are meeting today in Rio de Janeiro for a monumental three day summit seeking to tackle climate change. Labelled Rio+20, the United Nations meeting comes 20 years after Rio held the Earth Summit in 1992. Environment ministers from across the globe have already spent the past week thrashing out a proposal that is now set to be approved by the 120 heads of state and government who will descend on the Brazilian city. But environmental organisations have been left dismayed by the draft agreement, which they say contains no timetables, or ways to monitor new sustainable development goals. Daniel Mittler, political director of Greenpeace, stated that the final documents only reaffirmed commitments nations had previously made. "Any progress that you hear about in press conferences, is about progress to water down the text to avoid commitment. In reality governments are here to do nothing and to commit to nothing." It is doubtful that major changes will be made to the proposal, but Non-governmental organisations remain hopeful that the agreement will be strengthened. Written and narrated by Alfred Joyner

United Nations Earth Summit (1992)

Speech representative of the Organization of Canadian Children in protecting the environment, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The Earth Summit influenced all subsequent UN conferences, which have examined the relationship between human rights, population, social development, women and human settlements ? and the need for environmentally sustainable development. The World Conference on Human Rights, held in Vienna in 1993, for example, underscored the right of people to a healthy environment and the right to development, controversial demands that had met with resistance from some Member States until Rio.

Severn Suzuki speaking at UN Earth Summit 1992

Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation. more information on www.davidsuzuki.org BigUp to my friend Sebastian Sturm for letting me use his song... yes bredgin, TELL THEM THE TRUTH!!! http www.myspace.com
