Major groups and stakeholders from across the globe came together in order to discuss the outcomes of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (otherwise known as Rio+20) held in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012, agree on priorities for action in order to accelerate these outcomes, address areas where no progress or agreement was made and advance the post-2015 development agenda. While it was recognised that Rio+20 has created numerous entry points via new processes for advancing sustainable development, stakeholders focused on five key themes for the event: The new governance architecture post Rio+20, and the potential role of Major Groups, and the space for engagement from local to global levels; Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the post-2015 development agenda, including the role of Major Groups and stakeholders in their design and implementation; The green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication, including Beyond GDP; The 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production; A focus on implementation and delivery of the Rio+20 outcomes, including mobilisation of finance, technology and resources. A summary of presentations, think pieces, and background papers are available online.
