Rio+20: Looking forward, looking back
This week I turned 28, and am beginning to feel that I’m at a crossroads in my life. I’m not old, obviously, but I’m not that young either.
It’s a good age to look back at what I have done so far (growing up in Paris, going to university, starting my professional life, getting familiar with the British culture etc.) and to start thinking about the future.
In a month the Rio+20 summit will start in Brazil. Also known as the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, it marks 20 years since the first Earth Summit took place in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Like for me, it’s a good opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved for our planet and to discuss the future we want to see.

Climate justice: Copenhagen to Cancun
In just a few months international climate talks begin in Cancun. I remember the high hopes we had before the Copenhagen climate talks – how have things changed since?
In the run up to Copenhagen we felt part of a powerful global movement for climate justice. 60,000 joined our Climate Justice campaign in just nine months. 50,000 people marched through the streets of London on a cold December day in The Wave, the largest ever climate march this country has ever seen. Even this was dwarfed – in scale, energy and coldness – by the 100,000 who marched in Copenhagen a week later.

Climate change: CAFOD at The Wave
A new short film from Francis Fagan, winner of CAFOD’s youth film competition, about The Wave, the UK’s biggest ever climate justice rally on 5 December 2009.
The Wave got over 50,000 people out on the streets of London ahead of the Copenhagen summit, all calling for a fair, ambitious and binding deal. Talks in Copenhagen are happening now, but are world leaders listening?
