A CALL TO REGISTER YOUR SUPPORT

On April 30 – May 11, 2007 the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (the UN CSD) meets in New York. Government delegations from all over the world will discuss key aspects of sustainable development. In 2007 the CSD will discuss: Climate Change; Energy for Sustainable Development; Industrial Development; and Air Pollution / Atmosphere.

The UN CSD is one of the most open and participatory intergovernmental processes on sustainability issues. There are many opportunities for NGOs to influence government policy and practice. NGOs from 15 nations from Western Europe met for two days in Brussels in January 2007 and agreed this statement which calls for specific actions by the UN, national governments and by the EU.
