Earthsummit.Biz: The Corporate Takeover of Sustainable Development

Two CorpWatch associates report on the growing entanglement between the United Nations and large corporations. Their study focuses on the period between the first U.N.-sponsored Earth Summit in 1992 and the second one ten years later. They contend that the U.N.’s partnerships with corporations have enabled polluters to improve their image, even as they undermine efforts to protect the planet from environmental catastrophe.
