Abstract
In advance of the Rio+20 climate change conference (June 2012) this workshop aimed to identify the right directions in which to move forward, knowing the current planetary situation is dire. Participants were particularly keen that ideas raised during the conference should not simply be left hanging, but fed into thinking for Rio. Recommendations are provided at the end of the summary. Many participants remain optimistic despite the unpromising political and economic environment, because they believe good things have been happening behind the scenes which, taken together, could change the trajectory towards sustainable growth faster than expected.
