[International Participation] UNCSD to be Held in Brazil, Former Academia Sinica President Yuan-Tseh LEE Will Give Address on June 20 (<a href=http://mepopedia.com/forum/read.php?127,23585>Chinese Version</a>)

<i>Academia Sinica Newsletter</i> (2012/06/18) The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development Rio de Janeiro, 2012 (UNCSD, Rio+20) and its related event series were to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil between June 13 and 22. The conference is the globally topmost-level meeting among the leaders of the governmental and non-governmental organizations in the world. The conference in this year is the third time gathering organized by UN since 1992. The world leaders, along with thousands of participants from governments, the private sector, NGOs and other groups, will come together to shape how we can reduce poverty, advance social equity and ensure environmental protection on an ever more crowded planet to get to the future we want.

Former Academia Sinica President Yuan-Tseh LEE was selected as the successive president of the International Council for Science (ICSU) in October, 2008 and began to lead the council on the promotion of global sci-tech cooperations since he officially succeeded to the task in September 30, 2011. The council was appointed by UN to organize the five-day Forum on Science, Technology & Innovation For Sustainable Development, in which the project Future Earth was planned to be inaugurated. The project was initiated by the globally main scientific groups, scientific government sectors and the relevant organizations under UN, and it was a long-term, significant international project on the research of the sustainability. Also worth a mention, the founding of the project was obliged to the financial support by many entrepreneurs in Taiwan, inspired by LEE's canvass.

On June 20, LEE will give an address at a major forum in UNCSD, Rio+20. He will represent the global sci-tech industries and give a briefing to the world leaders and the participants about the conclusions reached in Forum on Science, Technology & Innovation For Sustainable Development, presenting several significant scientific information and suggestions.

Besides the official talk at UNCSD, Rio+20, LEE will also take his part in the Nobel Laureates High-level Dialogue on Global Sustainability. He will also be one of the representatives signing <i>Rio Declaration</i> along with other world leaders and UN officials participating in the symposium. The declaration will be referred to UN Conference after the signing.

LEE has been devoted to the global affairs and the future of humanity. It is highly significant that LEE can represent Taiwan to address the opinions and suggestions from the global sci-tech groups and industries on the issues of our contemporary difficulties. This indicates Taiwan's determination of international participation, especially joining in the international sci-tech cooperations and organizations at the level of academia whose concerns always transcend political ones.
