Advancing the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda
Reconfirming Rights – Recognising Limits – Redefining Goals
20-22 March 2013 in Bonn, Germany
We have the pleasure of announcing the international NGO conference ADVANCING THE POST-2015 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA Reconfirming Rights – Recognising Limits – Redefining Goals.
This global event will bring together about 250 civil society activists
and representatives from key stakeholders in order to draw together
civil society inputs into the Sustainable Development and Post-2015
discussions. It will take place on 20 – 22 March 2013 in Bonn, Germany.
Funding for a limited number of participants, mainly from developing
countries, is available.
At present, a multitude of discussion and consultation processes is
going on worldwide: some in the context of the Rio+20 process, others
preparing the Post-2015 agenda, some with a specific sector focus,
others on national or regional level. While wide-ranging and
participatory processes are welcome, we need to gain a better overview
on civil society perspectives and demands in order to advocate more
effectively for their implementation. Advancing the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda aims at providing such an overview.
Supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
Development (BMZ) and the United Nations Department of Economic and
Social Affairs (UN DESA), the conference is being shaped by a Steering
Committee composed of many of the major international civil society
networks such as CIVICUS, Beyond 2015, Climate Action Network –
International (CAN-I), Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era
(DAWN), Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP), Global Campaign
for Climate Action (GCCA), Social Watch, VENRO and the Baltic Sea Forum.
The conference strives to bring together key actors in the Post-2015
Sustainable Development discussion helping them to exchange information,
learn from each other benefiting from our sector’s diversity and agree
joint demands and strategy where this is possible.
