2012: 3GF-events at Rio+20

During Rio+20 in Rio de Janeiro, the Global Green Growth Forum (3GF) hosted two major events:

Accelerating Green Growth through Public-Private Partnerships. This workshop on 18 June 2012 convened active global Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to explore the role that PPPs can play in reducing information-, policy- or behavioral barriers to the scaling of green growth, and to produce guiding principles for successful PPPs. The event was co-hosted by UN Global Compact and was opened by Bob Orr, presenting the UN Partnership Facility, and Minister Lidegaard introducing 3GF’s ground breaking tool for strategic development of PPPs.
