Who among you has seen materials like this in your child’s school?<\/p>\n
My son just got home from school and saw that I had the printed \u2018Vision 2050\u2019 Poster (8 \u00bd x11) on my kitchen table and said \u2013 Mom \u2018Where\u2019d you get that?\u2019 He said, \u2018we got that in Science last week only it was in black and white.\u2019<\/p>\n
And sure enough he went and got it out of his backpack.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s an 8th Grader at [redacted for privacy] School.<\/p>\n
The first two links show a mural and poster of \u201cVision 2050\u201d illustrating the changes that will need to take place each decade.<\/p>\n

Must Read from the Sustainable Development Announcement List NEW Policy Brief from Ibon International<\/p>\n Dear colleagues, <\/p>\n IBON International is proud to present its newest policy brief on Rio+20 entitled, “Reforming global sustainable development governance: A rights-based agenda”. You may download the document through the attached link: http:\/\/iboninternational.org\/resources\/policy_briefs\/130 <\/p>\n Achieving sustainable development entails a global transition\u2014away from prevailing inequitable and ecologically destabilizing patterns of development, to modes of development based on shared prosperity and environmental protection. Global governance plays a crucial role in this shift.<\/p>\n This Policy Brief from Ibon International argues that the general thrust of reforming sustainable development governance should be towards greater democratization and strengthening people\u2019s rights. A reformed institutional framework for sustainable development (IFSD) following a rights-based approach should help:<\/p>\n 1. Redefine the goal of governance<\/p>\n 2. Address power imbalances<\/p>\n 3. Address social and economic inequities<\/p>\n 4. Bridge implementation and accountability gaps<\/p>\n 5. Enhance policy integration and coherence<\/p>\n We hope that the analysis and recommendations presented in this brief helps enrich the discussions on the IFSD towards Rio+20.<\/p>\n Kindly send your feedback to pquintos@iboninternational.org<\/p>\n Best regards,
