Sustainia at the Rio+20

The UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in June 2012 will be one of the most important gatherings of world leaders in recent memory and will be of critical importance to the future of sustainable development. It seeks to build global consensus for a more sustainable course, in the environmental, social and economic spheres. The Sustainia Rio+20 activities are:

  • The Sustainia Expo will be the setting at the UN Global Compact’s Corporate Sustainability Forum from June 15-18

Sustainability Action Forum

The Sustainability Action Forum will create a unique multi-stakeholder exchange using new ideas and concepts that catalyze decisions to further the implementation of sustainable solutions and initiatives.

It is not a typical conference or forum but a forum dedicated to making actual commitments and discussing next steps.

The Sustainability Action Forum will each year gather decision makers from national and sub-national governments, cities, NGOs, foundations, corporations, businesses and private equity funds. Participants will include CEOs, academics, and leaders from UN, Bretton Woods, youth and civil society organizations. The Sustainability Action Forum will also be the platform for the annual presentation of the Sustainia Award Winner.

Sustainia Award

The annual Sustainia Award helps create global awareness around successful sustainable solutions. The Sustainia Award honors outstanding performance within sustainability and is headed by the Sustainia Award Committee. The Award winner receives a money prize and the funds given are tied up to help further scale the idea or solution. The Sustainia Award will be chosen among the Sustainia100 – 100 solutions that each in their own way will help create Sustainia. The Sustainia Award winner will be announced at the Sustainia Award Ceremony during the Sustainability Action Forum.
