PwC & Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development - 20 June 2012
For one week in June, PwC will join thousands of global business and government leaders in Brazil for the Rio+20 Conference - a major global event on sustainable development, focused on reducing poverty, advancing social equity and ensuring environmental protection for the future.

With a goal to strengthen political commitment to sustainable development, the conference will assess what progress has been made over the 20 years since the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, and look to address the current challenges in achieving a sustainable future and more equitable world.
PwC is committed to helping clients realise their strategic visions aligned with the objectives of Rio+20. The Rio+20 Conference provides a unique opportunity for the voices of the private sector and other non-governmental representatives to be heard, and PwC will be on the ground in Rio as part of this effort.

We look forward to sharing our insights from the negotiations and helping clients to play their part in building the future we want.
