PLATFORM Plans for Rio+20 & COP18 in 2012
We are now planning for the Climate Sustainability PLATFORM programme till the end of 2012 which is a crucial year;
1. In May 2012 we will be active in the Rio+20 Summit or the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD). The critical outcomes of a Green Economy and Sustainable Development Governance will become our key targets.
2. Then in November/December 2012 will be the crucial UNFCCC COP18 that will introduce the post-Kyoto or new climate commitments.
Our work in 2011 will be important in planning for 2012. We should now start to form a core committee with regional and national focal points appointed. We would like to have your recommendations for a working structure for the PLATFORM, as well as your proposal for activities. Please let us know how you would like to contribute and participate so the planning could accommodate those ideas and recommendations etc.
The PLATFORM will be active in many ways for Rio+20;
1. As a member of the of the Stakeholder Forum’s Advisory Board will provide input into the Rio+20 action
2. As one of the 03 initiators (Stakeholder Forum, ANPED, PLATFORM) of the Sustainable Development Governance Network for Rio+20, the PLATFORM will be playing a key in the Rio+20 and post event agenda shaping of global sustainability governance
3. As part of the new initiative for a Global Citizens Movement with the Great Transition Initiative, we plan to bring in PLATFORM members into a broader global movement with a major event planned at Rio+20
4. We plan a Series of position papers for Rio+20 including SCP, poverty eradication, climate sustainability, green economy, and sustainable development governance under an editorial team.
5. We plan to be represented at the upcoming Rio+20 PrepComs, CSD sessions, international preparatory events, and UNFCCC COP meetings, etc.
