Last week, the UN Secretary General’s High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability released a report of recommended outcomes for the Rio+20 conference in June.

The report, "Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing," outlines both long- and short-term goals for governments, civil society and the private sector. The recommendations address all facets of resiliency, including climatic, economic and social.
