Brazil, a country with one of the fastest growing economies in the world, will host World Environment Day 2012 (WED) on 5 June.

Brazil had previously hosted WED in 1992, on the eve of the first Earth Summit, when world leaders, government officials and international organizations met to refocus, recalibrate and deliver a route map towards sustainable development.

In this section, we spotlight the inspiring Green Economy case studies from the burgeoning Latin American nation.
