Poland's Ministry of the Environment is organizing this high-level conference, aimed at consultation between EU member States and key countries in the process of preparing for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20). The conference will include presentation of the EU Environment Council's report of 10 October 2011 and other examples of green economy initiatives, from 10 EU member States and 10 other key countries in the UNCSD process.
