ADAO was given a great opportunity to present at a satellite workshop during the United Nation’s Rio+ 20 Conference on Sustainable Development in Brazil. An impressive group of international delegates attended the People’s Summit Workshop: “The Future We Want is Free of Asbestos!”, which took place today, June 15th, in Rio de Janeiro. ADAO was proud to present along with Hermano Castro, Alexandra Caterbow, Fernanda Giannasi, Kaisha Atakhanova, Vladimir Korotenko, Laurie Kazan Allen and others.
This event has already expanded our international working relationships. The conference gives us the opportunity to confer with the international governmental community, and hopefully to raise awareness of asbestos-disease prevention, education, and community building. We seek to remind the international community that sustainable development includes a healthy, asbestos-free, environment and workplace.
Our visit to Brazil will allow us to more effectively advocate both nationally and internationally for an asbestos ban with the new definitive information we have gathered regarding economic viability and sustainability.
