Join The Secretary of State for the Environment, Caroline Spelment MP, and other influential leaders as we debate Rio+20.
Ahead of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in June 2012, CAFOD, Christian Aid, Progressio and Tearfund are organising a public discussion, considering the distinctive arguments and solutions offered by Christian perspectives to the vital topics for debate at Rio+20.
The event will take place on Wednesday 23rd May in Central Hall Westminster, London SW1H 9NH (Tube: Westminster, St James) at 6.30pm.
The panel will include some of the most influential leaders in the field. The Secretary of State for the Environment, the Rt Hon. Caroline Spelman MP will provide the keynote address. There will also be contributions from Rt Rev the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells and Nanette Antequisa, a member of the Beyond 2015 Advisory Group from the Philippines. The event will be chaired by Richard Black, the BBC News Environment Correspondent.
The four key questions that will be addressed are:
What is the world that they want to see? Is the green economy the answer?
What barriers need to be overcome and what progress must be made at Rio +20 to help achieve this vision?
How can the global economy be re-shaped to ensure greater equity and environmental sustainability?
What kind of measures would be helpful in driving the right kind of progress?
