Canadian Perspectives from the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD)
CSD Workshop in Ottawa
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

CIELAP is organizing its Fourth Partnering for Sustainability workshop to be held over two days in Ottawa in the late fall of 2008. This workshop will bring together multiple stakeholders to share case studies, lessons learned, best practices, constraints, challenges and opportunities, on the theme of land-use planning and management for sustainable development with respect to agriculture. The event will foreshadow and feed directly into the UN’s Commission for Sustainable Development (CSD) process. The thematic areas of the CSD’s 2008/2009 review and policy cycle are agriculture, rural development, land use, drought, desertification and Africa.

CIELAP’s workshop will help stakeholders better understand the benefits of this international forum and will give them the opportunity to input into Canada’s participation at CSD. CSD is the only global plenary session that applies a sustainable development lens to pressing international issues. The international forum provides Canadian sustainable development thinkers and decision-makers with the opportunity to interact; share successes and best practices; learn from other cast studies; bring divergent opinions together to help bridge differences; and advance policies and standards that set the stage for Canadian policy-making at national, regional, and local levels.
