International conferences related to the environment play a crucial role in seeking solutions to transnational issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Among these conferences, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, was a milestone in establishing various principles and conventions that shaped subsequent global environmental policies. Based on the historical context and commitments made during UNCED, answer: (1) How does Agenda 21, one of the main outcomes of UNCED, propose the integration between the environment and sustainable development, and what are the practical challenges in implementing its principles? (2) Evaluate the impact that non-compliance with the agreements signed at UNCED can have on a local and global scale, considering specific examples of how lack of action could affect specific ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
