The Guardian has published a letter remembering Paul Brown, the newspaper's former environment correspondent, following his death.
The letter recounts an episode from 1992, when the writer was walking with Brown along Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro during the Earth Summit. According to the account, Brown was mugged by two women who ran off with his wallet, and responded by telling his companion to simply ignore them.
The anecdote was shared as part of the Guardian's letters page tributes to Brown, reflecting on his character and experiences covering environmental issues internationally, including his presence at the landmark 1992 Rio Earth Summit, one of the first major global conferences dedicated to environmental and sustainable development issues.
Further biographical details of Brown's career were not included in the available excerpt.
