July 2011: Road to Rio+20, a global youth mobilization initiative towards the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20), has launched a campaign inviting youth to contribute new ideas for the Children and Youth Major Group submission to the UNCSD process, and to comment or vote on ideas already submitted.

Youth are invited to submit their ideas on “the one thing that governments should do, in order to make the development of our world more sustainable.” The author of the idea with the most votes will win a trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil or New York, US to present the youth statement to the leaders of the UNCSD process.
