The purpose of the RIO 12 – World Climate & Energy Event is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy industry.

The global economic development leads to higher energy demands whereas the use of fossil fuels is reaching its limits. The development of further sites of exploitation is getting increasingly more costly and bears unpredictable risks for the environment and world peace.

The fastest and safest way to bound climate change is the use of renewable energy sources and the preservation of natural landscapes. During the event representatives from industry, business, science and politics confer the way and discuss effective measures for the transition of the energy structure.
