Since the Rio +20 is the green economy and poverty eradication, and Brazil is proposing an inclusive green economy, I think it's good to start with the city areas in need of interventions that are most urgent and serious problems with infrastructure and precarious urbanization.

Pointed out, however, shortcomings, especially in the areas of sanitation and garbage collection. "And we want them to know that the conference [UN] is for them. They will be benefited by the discussions and have to say what they think. " Therefore, he added, the idea of sustainable communities must be on the agenda for Rio +20.
Aspásia argued that the Brazilian government deeply into important issues for the future of the population, such as green infrastructure. "We have to work with the idea of infrastructure, which is one of the most expensive things you have to invest and that involves, basically, health, transportation, construction and energy in general. This has to be designed with a green vision because it represents an extraordinary impact of investments, almost like the New Deal [new covenant] green. "
The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) reinforces the proposed green new deal. The project seeks to direct recovery efforts of economies to ensure the sustainability in the formation of a new global economic and productive setting.
Aspásia said the state of Rio is also working on called green accounting. "It's all kind of measurement of impacts and compensation that can happen if there is a financial and tax system that favors". He cited as examples to be inserted in green accounting and economic indicators Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Aspásia also noted that the state already has a Green Stock Exchange, whose project was launched in December last year. It is an active market environment whose goal is to promote the green economy in the state. Among the assets that will be marketed in the Green Bag, are carbon credits and reforestation activities. The start is scheduled for April this year
