From Rio+20 to the New Development Agenda

The event addressed:
Why was the Rio+20 Conference so significant and which are some of its most main results?
Why advancing in the implementing of Rio+20 is central for building a strong post 2015
development agenda?
How can the post 2015 development agenda build on the transformative vision of Rio+20 in
which poverty eradication, changing unsustainable and promoting sustainable patterns of
consumption and production and protecting and managing the natural resource base of
economic and social development are the overarching objectives of and essential
requirements for sustainable development?
