The 2012  UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), also known as  \u201cRio+20\u201d, will be a historical event.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The objectives of UNCSD are: to secure renewed political commitment  to sustainable development; to assess progress towards internationally  agreed goals on sustainable development and to address new and emerging  challenges. The Summit will also focus on two specific themes: a green  economy in the context of poverty eradication and sustainable  development, and an institutional framework for sustainable development.  UNCSD  offers a unique opportunity to also discuss the extent to which  universities have been providing a meaningful  contribution towards the  efforts in shaping a better world and, perhaps more importantly, to  discuss what else remains to be done.<\/p>\n<p>It is against this background that the \u201cWorld Symposium on  Sustainable Development  at Universities\u201d (WSSD-U-2012) will be  organised  by the Research and Transfer Centre \u201cApplications of Life  Sciences\u201d of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, under the  auspices of the RCE Hamburg and Region. The RCE Hamburg and Region is  part of a global network of Regional Centres of Expertise on Education  for Sustainable Development (RCEs) coordinated by the United Nations  University.<\/p>\n<p>For more information click <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.haw-hamburg.de\/wssd-2012.html\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"><em>Article originally published at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uncsd2012.org\/rio20\/index.php?page=view&amp;type=13&amp;nr=289&amp;menu=27\" rel=\"noopener\">uncsd2012.org<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Jun 2012 &#8211; 6 Jun 2012 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Forty years after the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and twenty years after the first \u201cEarth Summit\u201d (UN Conference and Environment and&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-workshops-meetings-events"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earthsummit2012.stakeholderforum.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
