The article discusses the 2012 UN Earth Summit from June 20-22 in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, with particular focus given to the influence of the corporate sector on international environmental policy. The concepts of the "green economy" and "sustainable development," are critiqued as giving too much credit and power to the capitalist system, and the hope for stricter regulations of industry is offered.
