At the Rio+20 Conference (United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development) taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in June 2012, the UN will bring together governments, international institutions and other major groups under the theme "The Future We Want" to consider smart ways to reduce poverty while promoting job creation, clean energy and more sustainable and fair use of resources. The event marks the 20th anniversary of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, where countries adopted a blueprint to rethink economic growth, advance social equity and ensure environmental protection, and offers a chance to move away from "business as usual" and act to end poverty, prevent environmental destruction and build a bridge to a more prosperous future.
