Sustainable Development Report 2012 – 20 years of sustainable development in Switzerland since the Rio Earth Summit: a contrasting evolution

Neuchâtel, 30.04.2012 - (FSO) - Living conditions in Switzerland are good and at a high level in international comparison. Inequalities persist, however, both at the national and international levels. The consumption of non-renewable resources does not make it possible to preserve available stocks for future generations. These are the main conclusions of the "Sustainable Development Report 2012" published by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), the Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE), the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
