Parallel with Rio +20 CSD, Brazilian civil society will convene the Peoples Summit for Social and Environmental Justice to be held from 15 to 23 June at Flamengo at Rio.

There is a further development of a series of Peoples Sustainability Treaties, as a complementary process to strengthen the Rio +20 Peoples' Summit and all other independent efforts for creating peoples' visions and voices. . The treaties are essentially a forward looking process, and target a future beyond Rio+20 and aim to be a living document to advance a global citizens' movement forging the transition to a sustainable world. Ten draft treaties are now available here covering Consumption and production, Equity, Sustainable Economies, Radical Ecological democracy, SD Governance, SD Goals, and Rights of mother Earth. Comments and endorsements are welcomed.
