Website covers 5 year review of the World Summit for Social Development (WSSD+5 / Copenhagen+5) in Geneva in June 2000. It provides a forum for all stakeholders allowing exchange of ideas and co-ordination of activities towards and beyond the Copenhagen review.
The site is aiming to make all relevant material available on the issues under discussion:
- the UN documents from the Social Summit and its follow-up process
- other stakeholders’ documents such as NGOs, women’s groups, youth, indigenous peoples, religious communities, trade unions, business & industry, research & education, governments and local authorities
- international agreements from other UN processes and commissions working on social development issues
- links to organisations working on specific issues of WSSD+5 are accessible by issue (issues as identified in the 10 Commitments of the Copenhagen Declaration) and by stakeholder groups.
Also provides a collection of ongoing listservers on relevant issues, and is planning to produce documents on certain issues which are multi-stakeholder reviewed or will provide summary reports to the UN Division on Social Development, governments and other stakeholders.on the basis of online discussions by various stakeholder groups.
The web-site is still under construction and is being updated frequently.
