UNEP is proud to be hosting the United Nation’s Global South-South Development Expo 2013 at its headquarters in Kenya — the first time in the history of this event that it is taking place in the developing world. The increasing levels of trade, cooperation and initiatives between the nations of the global South reflect the rapid geo-political changes of our time. Indeed, the Expo - organized around the theme ‘Building Inclusive Green Economies’ and taking forward many of the outcomes of the Rio+20 Summit - will showcase how solutions to 21st century sustainability challenges are now increasingly being born and developed in the South. The Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) - in which 30 developing countries will be assisted over the next seven years by UNEP, the International Labour Organization, the UN Industrial and Development Organization and the UN Institute for Training and Research - is part of that drive as is the UN Development Programme’s new centre with Brazil in Rio de Janiero announced at last year’s Summit.
