Climate policy wonks are used to reading leaked draft text in advance of international negotiations.

The 19-page draft text for the upcoming United Nations Convention on Sustainable Development Rio+20 Conference is unique for being leaked so far in advance of the June meeting, however.

Climate policy nerds like me are pretty excited over this fortuitous accident. The draft text, while subject to substantive changes before it is officially presented in June, outlines policy prescriptions for nations to support sustainable development.
