Next June, the United Nations will bring the world together in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to discuss and decide how to accelerate action for a healthier, more equitable and more prosperous world for all.
“Rio+20” -- the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development -- is an opportunity to look ahead to the world we want in 20 years and to come up with better ways of doing things. Such as:
How can we help people move out of poverty and get good jobs, while protecting the environment?
· How can we provide access to clean energy for everyone?
· How can we make sure that everyone can get the water, food and nutrition they need?
· How can we shape our cities so that everyone can enjoy a decent quality of life?
· How can we make sure that our oceans and marine life are healthy?
· How can we make sure that our communities are resilient in the face of natural disasters?
