The Charles University Environment Center together with the Czech Ministry of Environment prepared and led a side event at the Rio+20 Conference with the title Measuring a Green Economy: Insights into ‘Beyond GDP’ Indicators) at which three respected institutions presented their methods for evaluating various aspects of societal development within the context of sustainable development.

Following the Future We Want conference organised by the Charles University Environment Center (CUEC) and held at the National Technical Library in Prague on 15 March 2012, and the subsequent public debate by Czech 'Major Groups' on what action they would like to see to ensure a more sustainable future, CUEC compiled and published a document summarising the views expressed in that debate. That document, Rio+20: Contribution by Czech Major Groups, has been published primarily as an appeal to the Czech government to commit itself to the outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference and to ensure their gradual implementation (available also in the Czech version).
