On Monday, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) convened the fourth installment of the Road to Rio+20 series.

The series was born out of the need for stakeholder awareness and input in the rapidly approaching Rio+20 conference in June.

The main goal of the summit –  the growth of the green economy in the context of poverty alleviation and sustainable development – have implications for each of us.
