"The Road to Rio 2012: Charting Our Path”

This document summarizes outcomes from an Asia-Pacific civil society meeting held on 17–18 October 2011 in Seoul, outlining regional priorities, emerging challenges, and actions for sustainable development. It highlights poverty eradication; disaster preparedness; equitable resource governance including indigenous rights; small-island marine stewardship; and stricter corporate accountability and investment regulation amid widening inequalities and unsustainable consumption. It frames “green economy” within sustainable development, rejecting nuclear energy, mega-dams, and agrofuel plantations; calls for public financing, technology transfer, removal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and non-GDP indicators of wellbeing. It proposes transforming global and regional institutions, strengthening UNEP, and creating multi-level councils to integrate the three sustainability dimensions.
