Facilitating a breakfast discussion on Sustainable Development Goals at UNEP Global Ministers Environment Forum with Ambassador Owor (Kenya) and Paula Cavallero (Colombia) and Minister of Environment Peru and Deputy Ministers from Guatemala and Colombia. I represented the DPI NGO Conference Chairs text suggestions on SDGs.

Speaking at the UNEP Global Major Groups and Stakeholder Forum Conference in Nairobi.

"Rio+20 must ensure we take a different economic path. And while the term green economy has become controversial in some circles, it does at last put the economy on the table for discussion. I believe we should see it more as a just transition from where we are now to a one that puts sustainability and people, equity and fairness at its core."
