RIO — a baby of seven and a half months, called Erasmus, is the youngest participant of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio + 20. Her mother, Sylvia Karlsson, Swedish is Professor of environmental studies of the Dutch University Wageningen. With 41 years, this already was in Rio to activist a meeting of NGOs and returned 41 years now to, with the child in her arms. Managed to credenciá it to the Rio + 20.

Accommodated in your cart, Erasmus bite your own badge, access to the pavilions of the Riocentro. And smile, his smile banguela and innocent of those who do not know what is going on.
— He is happy with the move. Will be created as a citizen of the world, worried about the world. We know that these changes are a long-term process. Erasmus is just beginning to participate. And is optimistic — guarantees Mommy proud to reporters and Marcia Foletto Malkes Renata.
Erasmus did not know. How could it know. But the global economic crisis is undermining the possibilities for Rio + 20 negotiators can tie an ambitious text to ensure a decent future for Erasmus and other millions of children around the world. Many will be born in Sweden, Brazil, Bangladesh, South Africa, China, Germany.
In 2050, humanity can count 9 billion people. On that date, Erasmus will have 38 years. Virtually to the age that his mother has today. He has no idea that, to support 9 billion people, a land is not enough.You will need one and a half or even two. And who could reinvent the planet? Each bracket that diplomats push each in the final document, the fate of Erasmus Gets a little more uncertain.

The industries need to do their part, science and politics as well. And we need to find ways out of the oceans and forests and it is also essential to guarantee the diversity of types (humans) of the planet. As the reader will find in the pages that follow.
