International Conference // Fair ideas: sharing solutions for a sustainable planet

Fair ideas, a major conference jointly hosted by the IIED and Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC) in Rio de Janeiro on 16-17 June, will show that a fairer, greener world is a realistic vision. It will add important knowledge, experience and momentum to the official summit. This conference is not primarily intended to generate joint advocacy positions: we believe there is a need to link practitioners, researchers and voices from the grassroots and from the global South with business and political leaders closer to decision-making, and to enable an innovative dialogue on key issues to make sustainability work for people and for the planet.
