The Spring issue of the newsletter of the Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO) highlights the preparatory process for UNCSD (Rio+20) and WEDO's activities related to this process including its being part of the Women’s Major Group Rio+20 Steering Committee. It also notes that many issues remain contentious, such as the concept of a green economy, and that WEDO is working to understand how women relate to a green economy, stressing that it is careful about supporting a concept that may affect negatively the social pillar of sustainable development. On governance, the newsletter notes that WEDO is exploring mechanisms to ensure gender equality in a future institutional framework.
