Recommendations to the consumer movement for Rio+20 • CI to agree on clear objectives for Rio+ 20 very soon • Have the internal structure and position papers in place well in advance • Set up goals that are realistic - match the resources available • Get a side event + include food and drinks ! • Do not forget to be fun and spectacular - events, happenings and parties RasmusKjeldahl - The Danish COP15 experience
