In the spring of 2012, The Elders and four young activists began an inter-generational debate about the change needed to secure a sustainable future for our planet, in the run-up to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). This report discusses the thinking behind the initiative, what it was able to achieve and the momentum it generated to further promote sustainable development.

In April 2011, the Elders visited China and the Korean Peninsula. Their trip report, available in English, Korean and Mandarin, summarises their main findings and recommendations on nuclear and security issues, inter-Korean relations and the humanitarian situation in North Korea.
