The Earth Summit was held in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro with Canadian and global leaders signing conventions to protect the planet. In 2012, the Rio+20 conference will assess what we have achieved and what we need to do.

Energy efficiency to reduce demand and renewable sources of energy supply will be reviewed.
