Rio+20: The People's Summit in pictures

The Rio+20 People's Summit took place from 15-22 June in the run up and alongside the official Rio+20 summit. With thousands of people from across the globe, hundreds of workshops, and five inspiring plenaries which focused on identifying the structural causes of social and environmental injustices and our alternatives, it was a really inspiring event. I have tried to capture some of the atmosphere of the summit in the photos below.
