In June 2012, the United Nations hosted the “Rio+20” global sustainable development summit in Rio de Janeiro. See the page below for WRI’s resources on Rio +20, including relevant projects, blog posts, and a summary statement on the conference.
WRI’s experts were deeply engaged at Rio+20 in promoting a renewed urgency around sustainable development and the need for concrete and accountable steps to achieve this goal. WRI staff in business, climate, energy, food, forests, governance, and transportation participated in Rio+20, leading discussions and sharing WRI’s analysis.
