It seems the best time for shaping a country position is not at the high-level conferences but before. And so the best way for civil society to try to collaborate with or influence the government delegation position is well before the CSD or the intergovernmental preperatory meetings (http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/csd/csd15/csd15_ipm.htm). CIELAP (the Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy) will be hosting a stakeholder meeting in November for civil society to share their thoughts for the policy year of CSD-16 (http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/csd/policy.htm).

There are a lot of issues to follow and be engaged with. News about the collapse of the salmon fish stocks is a clear reminder of how urgently we must sustain the earth - its systems, resources. If the CSD isn't the policy forum of choice for Canadian youth I think that is okay just as long as we are all engaged, and active, and concerned, and asking questions.
