The Tertiary Education Collaboration for Sustainability cordially invites you and your colleagues to attend their side event.

“Aiming higher: Unlocking the potential of Tertiary Education to accelerate Sustainable Development” brings together sustainability focused tertiary education associations with government delegates and student body representatives from across the world, to discuss the critical role that universities and colleges play in creating the societal shift required to reach the objectives and outcomes of Rio+20, and indeed in reaching sustainable development and a transition to a fair and green economy. As the primary interface for educating and skilling political and industry leaders, policy makers and professionals, tertiary education institutions provide the greatest opportunity to reorient current thinking.

We invite you to actively participate in this event to discuss our recommendations and help us shape further positioning for Rio+20 discussions and beyond.

We look forward to sharing our ideas with you and hearing your opinions in return.
