SAVE THE DATE! 17 August 2011 Bangkok, Thailand The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) will take place in 2012, marking two decades of official international action on sustainable development. In the first Rio Earth Summit in 1992, the international community came to recognize the unequal and unsustainable character of dominant development patterns. At the same time, it committed to take steps towards more equitable and sustainable development, and produced the conventions on climate change, biodiversity, and Agenda 21. Twenty years on, the world finds itself far off track in realizing the vision of Rio, even before the explosion of the multiple financial and economic crises of 2007-08.

For the first time since 1995, a referendum managed to reach a quorum in Italy and of the 57% of the population that voted (about 26 million), 96% voted to keep their water services public. This is a remarkable achievement for Italians and for the thousands of activists who spent months in the spring and early summer doing outreach at local markets and public spaces, handing out information, and registering people in a petition to demand a series of national referenda to overturn the water privatization law.
