Question

Mention two main outcomes of the Rio Summit.

Hint:

If asked for “two,” state Rio Declaration + Agenda 21; mention UNFCCC/CBD as context only.

Answer 1

The 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development (Rio) produced the Rio Declaration (27 principles including \textit{precautionary approach} and \textit{common but differentiated responsibilities}) and Agenda 21 for local-to-global action. It also opened the UNFCCC and CBD treaties for signature, laying the architecture of modern environmental governance (≈56 words).
