Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, very optimistic him, but people like Greenpeace, they are not it so much. Ban urges the world leaders to commitments in firm from this moment, but it is already known: TEXT WITHOUT CONTEXT IS PURE PRETEXT. In the page web of the UN they are declarations, texts, speech, etc. The customary thing. RIO+20 has not produced the revolution that they wanted some: energetics based on renewable energies and the efficiency, of the Plan of Rescue of the Oceans, of the deforestation zero, and above everything 'water for all.' The text of the summit didn't go to be of those but ambitious neither it commits seriously anything. 20 years have passed from the famous one 'Summit of the Earth of 1992' where it was approved 'Calendar 21.' Of that ambitious calendar has spent to the final declaration of this summit: "Taken note."
