June 6th, 2012 | Posted by Jen Marlow in Blog

Jen Marlow will be attending the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, June 20–22, 2012, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jen will be attending as a delegate of the American Society of International Law.

Rio+20 will be, in the words of the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, “one of the most important conferences in the history of the United Nations and a once-in-a-generation opportunity to gear the world on sustainable development path.” More than 100 heads of state or government have confirmed attendance and the Brazilian host government is expecting fifty thousand people. Over 18,000 people have registered for the Conference.
