World Summit Papers
The World Summit Papers are a series of HBF-publications which have been issued for the preparation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, 2002. The summit dubbed "Rio+10" was the follow-up of the historic UN-conference on Environment and Development and the so far largest UN-summit the world has ever seen. For us at HBF, the summit was the unique chance to set sustainable development once again on top of the international agenda.

HBF has also released a retrospective of the summit, titled "The World Comes to One Country".
