Which one of the following conferences/summits is also known as the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD)?
The Rio+ 20 Conference, 2012
The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June 2012, twenty years after the 1992 Earth Summit at the same city, which is why it is popularly called the Rio+20 Conference. Its outcome document was titled 'The Future We Want'.
The Rio+ 20 Conference, 2012 is therefore the event officially known as UNCSD, making it correct.
The Stockholm Conference, 1972 was the UN Conference on the Human Environment (the first major environmental summit). The Rio de Janeiro Conference, 1992 was the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, the Earth Summit that produced Agenda 21). The Johannesburg Summit, 2002 was the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). None of these carries the specific name UNCSD.
Correct answer: The Rio+ 20 Conference, 2012
