Network of European Active Citizens

As registered team of United Nations Partnerships for Sustainable Development, on May 10 - 16, NEAC Asociation will be present in New York for the CSD-16 Partnerships Fair. There will make a presentation about our initiatives and showcase our activities. We will also have a desk where to display and distribute information related to our organization.
 

Partnerships for sustainable development - voluntary, multi-stakeholder initiatives aimed at implementing sustainable development and contributing  to the implementation of Agenda 21, Rio +5 and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI) - were an important complementary outcome of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). At its 11th Session in May 2003, the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) reaffirmed that these partnerships contribute to the implementation of intergovernmental commitments, recognizing that partnerships are a complement to, not a substitute for, intergovernmental commitments.

The CSD Partnerships Fair provides a venue for registered Partnerships for Sustainable Development to showcase progress, launch new partnerships, network with existing and potential partners, create synergies between partnerships and learn from each other's experiences. The Partnerships Fair gives CSD participants an opportunity to gather information on and discuss the valuable contribution of these important initiatives towards supporting the implementation of inter-governmentally agreed sustainable development goals and objectives.

The Partnerships Fair is an official part of the CSD and a summary of its activities will be included in the Report of CSD 16. A more detailed account of the Partnerships Fair Activities will also be available on-line through the CSD Secretariat’s daily Partnerships Wires.
