Ten years ago the world's greatest gathering of leaders met at the Rio Earth Summit to discuss the state of the planet.
The world was locked in a deepening environmental and social crisis and major change was vital to make our future sustainable.
Rio resulted in a global action plan, but 10 years later, as the summit prepares to meet again in August in Johannesburg, has anything changed?
Are we out of the crisis or even closer to the brink?
