Elizabeth Thompson: UN Coordinator for Rio 20 | Global 3000 Interview

The UN-appointed Executive Coordinator of the event is convinced that the economic crisis, demographic developments, and environmental destruction will create enough pressure to induce each nation to accept its share of responsibility.
