UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20)

The UN Conference on Sustainable Development, known as Rio+20, was held in 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marking 20 years since the original Earth Summit in 1992. It aimed to address global challenges like poverty, environmental degradation, and sustainable development. Delegates from various countries gathered to discuss strategies for a balanced approach to economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. The conference resulted in the "Future We Want" document, which set goals for sustainable development and initiated discussions for the post-2015 development agenda, leading to the establishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
