Sustainable Mobility on the Road to the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development

15 Mar 2012

March 15, 2012, 9:00am-10:30 AM
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
1779 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20036

The UN secretary-general’s new five-year action agenda identifies sustainable transport as one of five building blocks of sustainable development. Yet transport is virtually invisible in the initial framing of Rio+20, the June 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development.

A panel of experts will discuss the prospects of getting sustainable transport on the agenda in Rio; how the United States can best promote the issue internationally; and what civil society, business, and government can do to ensure a successful conference. Carnegie’s Dan Sperling will moderate.
