The Earth Debates

What are the big international themes that world leaders will aim to address at next year’s Earth Summit 2012?

The international agenda will focus on how to develop a greener, sustainable and more equitable economy and how to reform international institutions to better respond to the pressing issues. As part of the build up, the British Council, the Natural History Museum and Stakeholder Forum are working together to host a series of four public debates which will tackle key issues at the heart of the green economy agenda.
