NGO Issue Forums
In the winter of 2001-2, CitNet organized a series of NGO
issue forums in Washington, DC. Presentations by expert NGOs
and roundtable discussions on US progress towards sustainability
regarding the issue provided an analysis format similar to
that of WSSD. A ten year review of US progress, and examination
of obstacles to implementation, and recommendations for next
steps were discussed by participants.
Following are links to announcements for the various issue
forums. These forums have served as input into American
Promises, a civil society review of US progress towards sustainability,
due to be released at Johannesburg.
