On the website “Messages of the World” people can post messages to the Rio+20 conference. Rio+20 is the United Nations conference on sustainable development and will take place in June 2012.
You can post your own message or support other messages to give them more weight. We support the following messages:

• “Without health there is no sustain. development. Tobacco use is the #1 cause of death & disability. Act on the global tobacco treaty – FCTC”

• “Tobacco Control issues should be discussed as tobacco production, trade and consumption threatens health, environment, and economy.”

You can support these appeals: Click on the links above and you will get directly to the page where you can agree on them.

Update (January 10th, 2012):

We changed the second message (before: Tobacco Control issues should be there as it threats health, environment, economy.), because it could easily be misunderstood. We added our own statement instead: “Tobacco Control issues should be discussed as tobacco production, trade and consumption threatens health, environment, and economy.”
