On 20th - 22nd, June 2012, the UNCSD
will take place in Rio de Janeiro. Also
referred to as the Rio+20 or the Earth
Summit 2012 due to the initial conference
held in Rio in 1992, the objectives of the
Summit are: to secure renewed political commitment to sustainable development;
to assess progress towards internationally
agreed goals on sustainable development
and to address new and emerging
challenges. The Summit will also focus on
two specific themes: a green economy
in the context of poverty eradication and
sustainable development, and an
institutional framework for sustainable
development. The full text of Resolution A/RES/64/236, which endorsed the
Summit is available here.
