The UN Conference on Sustainable Development 2012, described by UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon as a "once in a life time opportunity" will take place in 100 days. It is the chance to make a difference and realize “The Future We Want”, theme of the conference, in particular focusing on the creation of a Green Economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication.
