Although he was a senator of Illinois, Obama developed in 2000-2001, a private foundation for the start-up of the Exchange system, the United Kingdom, Wall Street, Chicago, and soon his beneficiaries increased rapidly in the U.S. Senate and the White house. Maurice F. Strong, PC, CC, OM, FRSC (born April 29, 1929) is a Canadian businessman. He is an entrepreneur, environmentalist, and one of the world's leading proponents of the United Nations's involvement in world affairs. Broken promises: Most of the problems the world now faces have been on the international agenda for decades, some going back as far the Stockholm environmental conference in 1972. They have now reached more acute, crisis proportions – not as a result of the lack of proclaimed government commitments to action, but to their dismal performance in implementing their agreements. Indeed, if governments had implemented the many conventions, treaties and declarations they have negotiated from Stockholm to Rio to Kyoto to Johannesburg, we would be well along the road to sustainability.Governments have done little to carry out their commitments, particularly as to helping finance developing countries' movement towards sustainability.This failure has only added to the anger of most developing countries at the continued broken promises, and has undermined their ability to make commitments of their own.As a result, we now face challenges on a number of fronts: * Human societies are living beyond the carrying capacity of the planet * Climate change has emerged as an out-of-control driver of many of the world's environmental and economic crises * The still-prevailing, consumption-based economic model is not only failing to deliver progress to enormous numbers of the world's population, but is seriously threatening the economic stability of all nations, and compromising the prospect for any of us to live on this planet * There is now an increasing link between environment and security * Governments have still not given the UN the mandate, the resources or the institutional capacities required to monitor and enforce international agreements. All of these issues can be positively influenced by Earth Summit 2012. But addressing them successfully will require an ambitious and creative agenda. Born in Oak Lake, Manitoba, Strong had his start as a petroleum entrepreneur and became president of Power Corporation until 1966. In the early 1970s he was Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and then became the first Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme. He returned to Canada to become Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Canada from 1976 to 1978. He headed Ontario Hydro, one of North Americas largest power utilities, was national President and Chairman of the Extension Committee of the World Alliance of YMCAs, and headed American Water Development Incorporated. Strong is the Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. He then became the very first Executive Director of the UNEP or United Nations Environment Program who has been creating quite a bit of controversy with his unconventional smart ideas of solving world problems about the environment.
