The meeting will address four key points:
· transparency, accountability, and reporting
· best practices in major industries and economic sectors
· innovative financing models and public/private cooperation
· supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, including through global supply chains.
While the agenda is still being finalized, the conference coordinators plan to feature a high-level CEO panel and several breakout sessions on key issues being discussed for Rio+20 such as: green economy, innovative financing, institutional frameworks, food, water, energy, transparency and reporting. . Between 350 and 500 participants will be invited, with a balance between public and private participation, including several at the CEO level and head of state level. In addition, representatives from the eight UN Major Groups will be also invited to attend and participate.
In addition to the Hague conference, USCIB members are actively involved in the Green Economies Dialogue initiative, which was launched last year to provide a forum for discussion of green growth topics among multiple stakeholders. Dialogue sessions have been held in Washington and Paris, and two additional sessions are planned for April in Tokyo and Brasilia. USCIB members are invited to contact Kira Yevtukhova
