Panel from WRI's June 19th event on governance. Photo credit: Michael Oko, WRIIt’s the final week of Rio+20, and WRI’s experts are on the ground for all the action.

We are heading into the last day of the conference. I’d say we are coasting in, because it seems that there won’t be much drama around the resolution. I don’t think many people are really satisfied with the formal outcome, which isn’t nearly ambitious enough. But it was certainly a busy, stimulating week with lots of opportunities to meet people, have interesting conversations, and wrestle with the big issues. I would also say, once again, that’s it has been enjoyable to be in Rio - though the sun has turned into rain. A metaphor? Perhaps.
