Close the Gap participated to the UN DPI Conference in Bonn: “Sustainable Societies; Responsive Citizens”

Posted on 03/09/2011

The 64th Annual Conference of NGOs, which is associated with the UN Department of Public Information (DPI), sought to highlight effective ways in which civil society can contribute to creating and maintaining sustainable societies. Sub-themes included environmental sustainability, green manufacturing and commerce, transparent governance, grassroots activism, and limiting personal carbon footprints. The Conference sought to contribute to civil society preparations for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20). The organizers included DPI/NGO Relations, NGO/DPI Executive Committee, the Government of Germany, the City of Bonn and UN Volunteers (UNV).  

Aiming to play a much more active role within the network of UN DPI organisations, Close the Gap participated to this Conference.
