she is the former minister for energy and environment of barbados and now the coordinator at rio plus 20 for developing countries. we asked her for her bottom line of what needs to come out of rio. >> some of the other things i think we'll definitely come away with are agreement on issues like water, and energy and food security, which are all very important. how do we do it in three days? the truth is that the process is already very much ongoing. we've been negotiating now at the government level since january of this year. fossil fuel interests are powerful and entrenched. and it is easy to live with what we already know. it's easier to remain where you are than to get up and go somewhere else. so that change is never easy. there is some lip service, but i think that the market itself is driving changes. you have the fact that consumers are making choices which are more environmentally safe, which are more environmentally sound. there is a whole movement toward whole food and organic products and goods and services from ethical locations or where ethical practices have been used in

i read in one, i think it was in barbados, a cricket field was named after the queen, which is a bigy bigger than getting a coin minted in your honor. as i mentioned those celebrations, and visits by members of the royal family to the common wait, and areas of the commonwealth will continue throughout the year. >> that's right, matt. the big one, i think, will be when william and kate go on their next major mission which is malaysia and singapore. that's going to be mid-september. and that will be huge. i think the press corps on that will be over 100, 150 people. >> it may be hard, the queen, to not go on all those trips but she has backed off the long-distance trips allowing other members of the royal family to do that for her. >> my understanding from people i speak to is really she's starting to do less and less after the jubilee and expect prince charles and camilla and william and kate and harry to step up a little. and spend more time with philip. she'll never abdicate. the way the system of monarchy works it's really sharing of that power. and charles will shadow to his mothe
