MPs urge Cameron to attend Rio+20
The prime minister must pledge to attend next year's Rio+20 summit to show leadership in tackling the global environmental crisis, according to a group of MPs.
The House of Commons environmental audit committee suggests that the move would reinforce the UK's commitment to a low carbon economy and help boost the profile of the conference.
The summit, to be held in Brazil next June, is set to focus on the "green economy" and sustainable development, but there are no binding agreements or treaties currently on the table for the conference.
However, David Cameron will be unable to attend as the June date as it coincides with the Queen?s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Instead, government sources have confirmed that that environment secretary Caroline Spelman will lead the UK delegation.
The cross-party group of MPs had warned that Earth's environmental problems are now much more urgent than the Rio summit held in 1992.
The committee said safe limits on the amount of waste, pollution and biodiversity loss that natural systems can tolerate continue to be breached, undermining the ability to use natural resources to support further growth.
