- Major Groups and other Stakeholder Workshops - In the lead-up to the<br />
Rio+20 conference, UNDESA in cooperation with Stakeholder Forum will be<br />
hosting a series of capacity building workshops for Major Groups and other<br />
stakeholders that will help participants prepare for the work they will be<br />
engaging in at the Conference. If you are interested in attending any of these<br />
workshops, we kindly ask that you pre-register to confirm your anticipated<br />
attendance, as capacity for these workshops is very limited.<br />
- Social media - Modern communication technologies also allows you to<br />
support the Conference from a far. While not everyone is able to attend and<br />
participate in Rio+20 live in person, social media sites allow for remote<br />
participation from all around the world. You can follow us on Facebook and<br />
join the global conversation on Twitter by tweeting us:<br />
