New E-Mail Listservs
The NGO Women's Caucus, a working group of the NGO steering committee of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), invites you to join its e-mail discussions about gender and sustainable development. The discussions will help prepare for next year's CSD meetings (February 28-March 10 for the intercessional meetings; the month of April for the main meetings), in which participants will discuss topics that include sustainable agriculture, land management, forests, trade and finance, and indigenous peoples. To subscribe to the listserve, send a message to women-csd-subscribe@egroups.com, or go to the e-group's home page at www.egroups.com/list/women-csd and follow the instructions. The Women's Caucus welcomes participation of men and women interested in seeing that appropriate decisions are taken regarding the gender-related aspects of sustainable development.
To provide everybody with references and resources relevant for next year's meetings, listserve members are requested to send any information having to do with the gender aspects of the meeting topics mentioned above to Minu Hemmati and Ami Doshi at United Nations Environment and Development-U.K. (minush@aol.com). The information will be compiled and made available upon request.
