The Bonn 2011 Conference with the theme "The Water Energy and Food Security Nexus – Solutions for the Green Economy" will be held from 16 to 18 November, 2011 in Bonn, Germany. The conference is a partnership between the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Government of Germany. It was announced by German Chancellor Angela Merkel as a specific German contribution to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development or "Rio 2012". The Conference will focus on the three action fields of sustainable development: the social, economic and ecologic dimension.
