The Asia and Pacific Regional Implementation Meeting (RIM) on Rio+20 Outcomes will meet from 22-24 April 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand, and is being convened by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). The RIM is expected to discuss regional perspectives on global processes resulting from Rio+20, such as the establishment of a High Level Political Forum to replace the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), and the development of sustainable development goals (SDGs) through the Open Ended Group on SDGs. The RIM will also identify regional follow up to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), and representatives of governments, civil society, business, and international organizations will participate in the meeting. A number of side events will also be held.
