Justificación Con la Declaración de Río de Janeiro (1992), la Cumbre del Milenio de las Naciones Unidas (2000) y la Cumbre de la Tierra de Johannesburgo (2002), los países son conscientes que la protección del medio ambiente es una responsabilidad conjunta, que implica una relación entre lo público y lo privado.
