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.Text1 digital file (13 p.)Application/pdfenCLIMATE CHANGEENVIRONMENTSUSTAINABILITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONGREEN ECONOMYGLOBALENVIRONMENTAL EMERGENCIESCLIMATE SCIENCERio+20 and the green economy : how to make prosperity sustainable, 19-21 January 2012; a note by the DirectorWorkshop Report
