Cette année marque le franchissement d'étapes importantes pour WEDO. Non seulement nous célébrons notre 20e anniversaire, mais nous nous préparons pour le sommet anniversaire de la Terre de 1992 (CNUED), le Sommet de Rio +20 en 2012. Ayant émergé spécifiquement de l'influence de ces négociations historiques, WEDO a permis d'assurer de faire évoluer les perspectives des femmes et l'égalité des sexes a été obtenu dans deux documents finaux de cette conférence, l'Agenda 21 et la Déclaration de Rio. Vingt ans plus tard, et avec une autre conférence à venir, nous célébrons au WEDO le travail et les individus qui nous ont amené ici - et en regardant de l'avant ensemble pour avancer sur la longue la route de Rio 2012!

Durant la prochaine année, nous vous invitons à nous rejoindre pour regarder en arrière sur cette page qui servira d'archives pour WEDO où sera réuni 20 ans de plaidoyer. Nous mettrons à jour d'anciennes publications, nous déterrerons de vieilles photos tout en rendant hommage à nos fondateurs et à d'autres grandes leaders femmes.

This year marks some significant milestones for WEDO. Not only are we celebrating our 20th anniversary, we are preparing for the anniversary summit of the 1992 Earth Summit (UNCED), Rio+20 in 2012. Having emerged to specifically influence those historic negotiations, WEDO helped ensure women's perspectives and gender equality positions were secured in two key final documents of that conference, Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration. Twenty years later, and with another conference ahead, we at WEDO are celebrating the work and individuals who got us here - and looking forward together as we move along the Road to Rio 2012!

Over the next year we invite you to join us as we look back- this page will serve as an archive for WEDO's 20 years of advocacy. We will be updating old publications, unearthing old photos, and paying tribute to our founders and other great women leaders.

Revisit our Publications:
WEDO has been a source of information and motivation leading to changes in how women's rights, participation, leadership, and role in the environment are understood. To celebrate this work, each month we will highlight a past WEDO publication in a post called "In Our Library".
