Details

Alongside keynote speeches and messages from high profile figures, including Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former President of Brazil, participants will engage in a series of interactive discussions on a wide range of climate change related questions, including:

• What does the future hold for global emission reduction efforts?
• Is Kyoto achieving emission reductions on an expected scale?
• What is needed to embark on large scale change in the industrial sector?
• Are we likely to see a wider range of countries adopting emission reduction targets?
• How will standards develop in the voluntary market?
• What is needed to mobilise the large capital pools required for a large-scale transformation of the international energy matrix?

Rio+15 Initiative partner organisations include the Brazilian Foundation for Sustainable Development (FBDS), the Ondazul Foundation (a non-governmental and non-profit organisation whose main goal is to promote and participate in initiatives aimed at encouraging sustainable use of Brazil's water resources), the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS) and the Brazilian National Forum for Climate Changes (FNMC). Both Environmental Finance magazine and Point Carbon will be covering the event as official media partners.

This unique event will be followed by a fantastic music concert on the evening of the 20 September, held atop Sugar Loaf Mountain and headlined by Gilberto Gil, Brazil's Minister for Culture and acclaimed popular musician, alongside performances from other leading Brazilian artists.
