The Rio Declaration consists of 27 principles intended to guide future sustainable development around the world. The very first principle states that ‘human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development’ (United Nations 1992), while other principles refer to the need for the integration of environmental protection into development and the use of environmental impact assessment for decision-making. Agenda 21 is a specific action plan which refers to actions that have to be implemented to address current issues and future challenges.
The same applies to waste generated by the manufacturing of construction materials. Again, the increased use of concrete has proportionally increased the quantities of the relevant construction materials which often cannot be recycled or reused at the end of the project’s life cycle.

Despite the fact that some of the goals set within the scope of these events -or of other similar ones of acknowledged importance- still require strong efforts, their effect on human activity cannot be questioned.
