Memo: Joint statement by Janez Potočnik and Ida Auken on the Rio+20 Declaration

The European Union in broad terms welcomes the Rio +20 declaration on the future we want, although a number of ambitions were not fully achieved. The EU has worked hard to secure a positive outcome on several fronts at Rio, including on the green economy, engagement in key areas for future action and on sustainable development goals. Some degree of institutional reform has also been achieved.
