Consultative Meetings
Throughout the year, as it has done in past CSD years, CitNet,
on behalf of the USCPC, organized
consultative meetings for NGOs to meet with members of the
US WSSD delegation. CitNet also organized two NGO strategy
discussions. In addition, several CitNet
working groups have been active in the past year.
Consultative meetings for WSSD
At these meetings, NGOs share their concerns with the administration,
the US delegation members
provide updates on preparation activities within the government,
and efforts are made to inform newcomers of recent activities
at the PrepComs.
In addition, presentations are often given by members of the
USCPC and others. While these meetings to date have all been
held in Washington, DC, most have had conference call capabilities,
with people from all over the nation engaging in the discussion.
NGO strategy meetings
CitNet also organized two NGO strategy meetings to discuss
common and opposing viewpoints among the NGO community and
to help develop US NGO strategy for the Summit. (These were
closed to members of government and business and industry
to encourage candidness and honest dialogue among NGOs.)
Thanks to National
Wildlife Federation, Environmental
Law Institute, and Center
for Respect of Life and Environment, UNEP-RONA,
and Friends of
the Earth for hosting these and other CitNet events and
meetings.
