Roundatable on Sustainable Biofuels Rio June 2 2010

RSB Workshop on Biofuels & Indirect Impacts

2 June 2010 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

While the direct impacts of biofuel production on people and the environment are well
understood and taken into consideration in various sustainability standards or regulations,
indirect impacts remain a complex issue for such schemes. Whereas the reality of indirect
impacts is widely recognized, opinions diverge, however, on the way to account for these
effects in sustainability standards and regulations. To support a global dialogue and help
building consensus around how to address indirect impacts of biofuels within its voluntary
certification scheme, the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB), in partnership with
Michelin and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) , is pleased to invite
you to join its technical workshop:

Biofuels & indirect impacts: Addressing indirect impacts in voluntary certification schemes
The workshop will be held in parallel to Michelin’s Challenge Bibendum 2010. From the 30th
of May until the 3rd of June, the Challenge Bibendum gathers industry leaders and the civil
society around the questions of sustainable mobility. We encourage you to attend this
outstanding event!
