governments, businesses, researchers, and citizens to move society forward.

Summit in 1992?

in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. The 3 conventions are:
• The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

community policies and strategies – including the community development and cooperation
activities.
