UNESCO’s recently published report “From Green Economies to Green Societies” serves as an important contribution to the preparatory process of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20), to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 4-6 June 2012. It provides the Organization’s vision for Rio+20 and gives concrete examples demonstrating the Organization’s work to promote sustainable development. It also provides a roadmap for future action on how to build equitable, inclusive, green societies through education, the sciences, culture and communication and information.”
