Abstract With this c-composition, I am trying to give a view over what has happened in the political area and the issues that concerns environmental aid. My analyze starts in the 60-ies when the environmental debate took of. It continues trough the 70-ies, 80-ies and ends in 1994 with the report that considers the UN-conference in Rio de Janeiro 1992, “Sustainable Aid” and what the results of the more and more important issue “sustainable development” has offered the Swedish government ant there work with environmental aid. The question issue is: At what time in history, did the Swedisch government start to addrsess environmental aid? How did the environmental aid come to be addressed and developed in the political area from the Brundtlandreport ”Our common future” from 1987 to the UN-conference in Rio de Janeiro 1992? The result is that the environment is getting more and more important in the political arena as the knowledge about the escalating crises with the environmental problems are being taken more seriously. The problems with the environment has to be considered together with the rest of the aid- and developing questions like economy and the struggle to reduce poverty in the world. The issue of “sustainable development” has to be involved in all governmental- and environmental work to create a sustainable future and earth.

Hur vi än lever våra liv så påverkar det alltid naturen runt omkring oss på något sätt. Bland annat bygger vi hus och infrastruktur, odlar, konsumerar och reser, vilket i olika utsträckningar inverkar på naturen. Idag pågår en aktiv global debatt om de negativa konsekvenserna som människors fotavtryck har satt på Jorden i form av miljöförstöring. Miljöförstöringen handlar till stor del om effekterna av Jordens ökande medeltemperatur, vilket i sin tur i stor utsträckning beror på våra levnadsvanor i form av produktions- och konsumtionsmönster. Ett internationellt arbete har påbörjats sedan en tid tillbaka för att skapa hållbara samhällen. I det här arbetet jämförs två aktörers texter angående deras relation till naturen. Aktörerna är Mohawkindianen Tom Porter samt Förenta Nationernas tre styrdokument: Riodeklarationen, Agenda 21 samt Skogsprinciperna, och de är båda deltagare i den globala miljödebatten. Deras relation till naturen kommer även att sättas i relation till världsbilder och kulturella kontexter samt förståelse kring texternas uppkomst. Resultatet visar att de två aktörernas relation till naturen och världsbilder i stort sett är varandras motsatser, vilket kan förstås utifrån bakgrunden till respektive kulturella kontexter där skapelseberättelsen och den vetenskapliga revolutionen är av betydelse. Även orsaken till texternas uppkomst utgör skillnader som bottnar i hur människans relation till naturen gestaltar sig.
