 Partnerships
for sustainable development - voluntary, multi-stakeholder initiatives aimed at
implementing sustainable development and contributing to the
implementation of Agenda 21, Rio +5 and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation
(JPOI) - were an important complementary outcome of the World Summit on
Sustainable Development (WSSD). At its 11th Session in May 2003, the Commission
on Sustainable Development (CSD) reaffirmed that these partnerships contribute
to the implementation of intergovernmental commitments, recognizing that
partnerships are a complement to, not a substitute for, intergovernmental
commitments.

The CSD Partnerships Fair provides a venue
for registered Partnerships for Sustainable Development to showcase progress,
launch new partnerships, network with existing and potential partners, create
synergies between partnerships and learn from each other's experiences. The
Partnerships Fair gives CSD participants an opportunity to gather information on
and discuss the valuable contribution of these important initiatives towards
supporting the implementation of inter-governmentally agreed sustainable
development goals and objectives.
The Partnerships Fair is an official part of the CSD and a summary of its
activities will be included in the Report of CSD 16. A more detailed account of
the Partnerships Fair Activities will also be available on-line through the CSD
Secretariat’s daily Partnerships Wires.
The CSD 16 Partnerships Fair will take place at
UN Headquarters in New York from
5 to 16 May 2008. The Programme of activities will mainly feature:
-
“Partnerships in Practice” Interactive discussions.
-
Presentations by CSD-registered partnerships.
-
Partnerships Information Desks.
