CSD 14 + 15, 2006/07 on Sustainable Development For more information, pls visit http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/index.html From the guidelines: The CSD has issued its guidelines for the Energy, Climate Change, Atmosphere and industrial development CSD reporting now. They ask for national input by the 1st of June 2005. If you are going to provide input as a group to the Secretary General or to engage in national preparations -- your governments may not yet know the date has moved from September to June -- then now is the time to start preparing your input. The Commission on Sustainable Development, at its eleventh session, encouraged countries to provide national reports, on a voluntary basis, in particular to the Commission's review sessions. In doing so, the Commission underscored that the reporting should: 1. Reflect the overall progress in all three dimensions of sustainable development, focusing on the thematic cluster of issues for the cycle; 2. Focus on concrete progress in implementation; 3. Include lessons learned and best practices; 4. Identify actions taken; 5. Highlight relevant trends, constraints, challenges and emerging issues; 6. Incorporate, where relevant, the effective use of indicators for sustainable development. The present Guidelines request information for the second implementation cycle of the CSD, that is, for sessions 14 and 15 (2006-2007), where the focus will be on the following: atmosphere, climate change, energy, and industry development, in addition to the cross-cutting issues. CSD 11 also invited its secretariat to make reporting more efficient and less burdensome on countries and more focused on implementation. Consequently, these guidelines are related to areas where national information is important but not otherwise readily available for all countries for the analysis required for the preparation of the Secretary-General's reports on the CSD 14/15 themes. Countries will be requested to report only once on the thematic issues during the two-year implementation cycle of the CSD. All responses will be posted on the Division's web site so that they can be widely shared, at: http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/natlinfo/natlinfo.htm. Information that reaches us by the deadline of 1 June 2005 will be used to the maximum extent possible for the analytical reports of the Secretary-General to the CSD.

It has been established to circulate information in relation to the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), particularly on women / gender and sustainable development issues. The CSD is the UN body mandated to monitor the follow-up of the Rio Earth Summit (1992) and the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002).
