The LA IMC's Adalila Zelada has filed four reports (1, 2, 3, 4) from Johannesburg, South Africa this past week. The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), which runs from August 26 through September 4 in Johannesburg, is the largest U.N. conference in history. Dubbed RIO+10, the WSSD marks the 10th anniversary of the Global Environment conference in Brazil, at which the groundwork for the Kyoto Protocols were laid. Ten years on, and the conference has expanded to cover issues of global economic development as well as global environmental concerns.

Adalila's first report from Jo'burg summarized expectations at the start of the WSSD.

Adalila's second report introduces the Global People's Forum, the "counter-summit" that is also taking place in Jo'burg simultaneously with the WSSD and that has attracted tens-of-thousands of activists and representatives of NGOs from around the world.

Adalila's third report exposes how international Big Business has made a concerted effort, more-or-less successful, to co-opt the U.N. leadership. And Adalila's most recent article follows up on this theme with a report on the Summit's official "Business Day," Sept.1; during which the international corporate elite took center stage to spin pro-free market disinformation.

For more coverage of the WSSD, the Global People's Forum, and other related events/actions go to South Africa indymedia, Joburg Media, or www.indymedia.org.
