Below is the programme from the Global Transition 2012 Dialogue #2. Each of the hyperlinks will take you to a new page where there is a write up from each session as well as the power point presentations, where these were used.
We are in the process of developing an interactive online hub for participants of the Dialogue and others so that the dialogue can continue in the lead up to Rio+20 and beyond.
Thank you to all who attended the Dialogue and for those who weren’t able to make it, we hope that the write up gives you a flavour of the two days.
After searching on the website, if you still can’t find what you are looking for, please email: [email protected] and we will try and answer your query.
Do remember to also follow the blog and send some content in to us of you have a perspective you would like to share.
