This side event to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20) will showcase the integration of pro-poor and sound environmental management into national development plans and policies. High-level representatives from Bhutan, Rwanda and Uruguay will share their experiences on combining inclusive development with sustainable management of natural wealth. Participants will get to learn how these countries have been able to combine more inclusive development with sustainable management of natural wealth, through support from the joint UN Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Environment programme (UNEP) Poverty-Environment Initiative (PEI).
