Rio de Janeiro will host the FIFA WORLD CUP in 2014 and the OLYMPICS GAMES in 2016 and, in June 2012, hosted the RIO+20 CONFERENCE: world leaders, along with thousands of participants from governments, the private sector, NGOs and other groups, came together to shape how we can reduce poverty, advance social equity and ensure environmental protection on an ever more crowded planet to get to the future we want.
The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) is being organized in pursuance of General Assembly Resolution 64/236 and took place in Rio on 20-22 June 2012 to mark the 20th anniversary of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED).
The Conference will focus on two themes: (a) a green economy in the context of sustainable development poverty eradication and (b) the institutional framewor for sustainable development.
As part of the Rio+20 some spectacular events took place on Botafogo beach:
an enormous outdoor installation of fish was constructed using discarded plastic bottles, a flash mob with 1.000 people (most of all Brazilian Indio’s who designed an Indio with a raised arm reaching for the sun) and the WWF balloon with the advice GET SE-RIO-US addressed to world leaders
