POST-RIO TO POST-2015:
PLANNING INTERNATIONAL STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

(OCTOBER 21-22, NEW YORK, VENUE TBC)

The two-day meeting, organised by UNEP in partnership with UNDESA, Stakeholder Forum and The Green Economy Coalition will provide an opportunity for Major Groups and Stakeholders from across the globe to come together to discuss the outcomes of Rio+20, agree on action items to accelerate these outcomes, and address areas where no progress or agreement was made.

Representatives of Major Groups and Stakeholders will:

  • Take stock of the overall outcomes of Rio+20, including determining the  successes and implications for the Major Groups model of participation;
  • Discuss the role of Major Groups and other stakeholders in the implementation of the Rio+20 outcomes;
  • Discuss the new governance architecture post Rio+20, including the space for engagement and the role of stakeholders;
  • Look forward to the post-2015 development agenda, in particular the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the role of Major Groups in the design and implementation;
  • Discuss and agree on the input into UNEP’s Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum in February 2013, as well as the 20th Session of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD 20) in May 2013.

Post-Rio to Post-2015: planning international stakeholder engagement

Due to a large number of confirmed participants, online registration is currently closed for the October 21-22 event. If you would like to attend, please email info@stakeholderforum.org This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your name, organisation and purpose for attending.
AND WE E-MAILED THEM BACK THE FOLLOWING:

“YOUR OCTOBER NEW YORK MEETING SOLD OUT BEFORE YOU ANNOUNCED IT?

THIS IS SCANDALOUS – JUST RECEIVED THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM YOU AND CANNOT REGISTER?”
We post this so our readers can judge by themselves if this so called STEAKEHOLDER FORUM is a positive or negative intrusion into the workings at the UN.
