Rio+20 policy briefs released by the GEC Programmes

The first five Rio+20 policy briefs have been released by the Global Environmental Change (GEC) programmes. The policy briefs specifically target policy-makers in the Rio+20 process, aiming to give them access to the latest scientific thinking on sustainable development.

The Rio+20 conference on sustainable development will take place in June 2012, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Each brief tackles an issue of importance to the conference, with a focus on the main themes of Rio+20: a Green Economy and the Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development.

The policy briefs currently available are:

Water security
Food security
Biodiversity and ecosystems
Transforming governance and institutions
Interconnected risks and solutions

The policy briefs are part of the scientific preparations for the international science and policy conference, Planet Under Pressure: new knowledge towards solutions (26-29 March, London, UK).
