The choice between pursuing rapid development versus preserving our delicate environment has never been settled permanently. In fact, a choice should not be made at all since both things can go hand in hand, in other words, we should pursue sustainable development. To further discuss about this idea, United Nations established the United Nation Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD). This year, delegates from around the world will gather in Rio de Janeiro for the Rio+20 conference.

It was a great honor for Sahabat Alam to have been appointed as one of the Indonesian Youth Delegation along with six other curated individuals. It would be a pleasure to extend the knowledge obtained from the conference towards youth back home and together preserve the environment better.
