ICLEI's evaluation of Rio+20 outcomes
2012/06/25
The Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 20-22 June 2012. ICLEI has been involved in the Rio+20 process in three ways:
•Advocacy. ICLEI has followed the preparations and negotiations of the outcome document closely and is the only Local Government Organization which has been present and actively engaged at every single UN preparatory meeting from May 2010 to June 2012. In addition, ICLEI has made a number of substantive contributions. ICLEI has also acted as Local Authority Major Group Co-organizing Partner (LAMG OP) for the Rio+20 Secretariat.
•Global Town Hall. ICLEI organized the Global Town Hall as an arena for presentations, dialogues and debates on a sustainable urban future. We invited our sister Local Government organizations, relevant UN agencies and international partners to join. The Global Town Hall was conceived as a cristallization point for local governments and their partners to reflect on the themes of Rio+20, green urban economy and institutional framework for sustainable development.
•Participation in partners‘ events. ICLEI‘s political leadership as well as senior staff members participated in a variety of side events organized by our international partners.
