Tribal Link to co-host side event at Rio+20 conference on sustainable development


Please join us for a presentation & discussion on

Indigenous and Local Communities and the Private Sector

Sunday 17 June 2012, 13:30-15:00, Room T-5 in Riocentro

The Rio +20 summit focuses on two topics:  green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development. The side event aims to illustrate how biodiversity use can serve these two strategic objectives.

In 2009, the Natural Resources Stewardship Circle of the aromatic, perfume and cosmetics industry (NRSC) committed to developing collaborative guidelines for ethical and sustainable sourcing of natural extracts from the traditional territories of indigenous peoples and local communities (ILCs) producers around the world. Currently, NRSC membership is made up of 20+ major international companies.

Join us as the NRSC, in cooperation with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, Tribal Link Foundation, and Associacao Sociocultural Yawanawa share experiences from the field and engage the audience in an open dialogue on the development of guidelines and the next steps forward.

 Moderator:                                                 

Viviana Figuero, Secretariat for the Convention on Biological Diversity

Speakers:
