Game Change Rio does not aim to change the world on its own. But it offers a great way to engage with the complexities facing our planet today.

Once more of us begin to understand the issues involved, we have a better chance of changing the game. Rio+20 this June was called to address this global inertia and make change happen after all. But this follow-up conference is up against many vested interests and only if we all mobilise, can we hope for a game change. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try! www.gamechangerio.org
