The broad ambitions of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development are still an inspiration, guiding us towards the goal of sustainable development. Almost ten years after their drafting, Principles 10 (public participation) and 15 (precautionary approach) give us a focus for our efforts to achieve environmental democracy and better protection of our environment. But words are not enough of course, and it is time to look at how these principles have been translated into action.
