E-Discussion

Following the seminar held at UN Headquarters, the DSD invites you to participate in an e-discussion. This e-discussion will continue in exploring some of the main issues raised in the presentations and discussion period during the seminar.

E-Discussion Aim

This e-discussion aims to bring together experts, practitioners, and policymakers from within and outside the UN system to identify challenges and highlight solutions to implementing sustainable development in the area of SCP. Your knowledge and contributions will help to lay the groundwork for thematic discussions on this issue during the 18th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD-18) in May 2010.
