Event Description
Worldwatch Institute Europe, State of the World Report 2012
Tuesday 5th of June 2012, 12.00 - 14.00
hosted by MEP Nikos Chrysogelos (GREENS/EFA)
Founded in 1974 the Washington-based Worldwatch Institute was the first independent research Institute with a global environmental perspective. In 2011 a European Office was opened in Copenhagen, the leading green capital of the EU. Famous through its "State of the Report" analytical reports and "Vital Signs" statistical analysis, the Worldwatch Institute is always at the forefront of the political debate and leads often political decision makers to a more sustainable policy.
As world leaders will meet in June 20 years after the Earth Summit another time in Brazil for the Rio +20 Conference, the 2012 edition of "State of the World" focuses on necessary changes and policies.
To give us in Brussels the possibility to get first hand information on these Rio+20 challenges I have invited three key representatives from Worldwatch Institute Europe:
