Rio+20 – the short name for United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) – will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 20-22 June 2012. This will mark the 20th anniversary of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), in Rio de Janeiro and the 10th anniversary of the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa. The two main themes for discussions will be: a. Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication. b. Institutional framework for sustainable development. The seven key areas that are being targeted in this undertaking are energy, sustainable cities, decent jobs, water, food security and sustainable agriculture, oceans and disaster-readiness. Envisaged as a conference at the highest level, with attendees consisting of Heads of State, representatives from various governments, private sector, NGOs and stake holders from 194 countries, this event is expected to result in a focused political document. Governments are then expected to adopt the practical measures for implementing sustainable development.
