SIDS Regional Preparatory Process: REGISTRATION OPEN
Please see below for information on pre-registration for regional preparatory activities for the 2014 Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS), provided by the Division for Sustainable Development at DESA in English, French, and Spanish.
SIDS Regional Preparatory Process: REGISTRATION OPEN
The UN General Assembly has called for a third international conference on SIDS to take place in Apia, Samoa from 1 to 4 September 2014, with preparatory activities related to the Conference held in Samoa from 28 to 30 August 2014.
In preparation for the 2014 SIDS Conference, regional meetings will be held as follows:
- Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Caribbean, held in Kingston, Jamaica (2-4 July 2013)
- Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Pacific, held in Nadi, Fiji (10-12 July 2013)
- Regional Preparatory Meeting for the AIMS region, held in Victoria, Seychelles (17-19 July 2013)
This message serves as a general call to major groups stakeholders inviting representatives of accredited entities (for example, those NGOs in consultation with the UN Economic and Social Council, or those listed on the special rosters of accreditation for CSD and the 2002 Johannesburg Summit) to pre-register online for the Regional Preparatory Meetings, using the links above.
Your main point of contact for information regarding the 2014 SIDS conference will be the Major Groups Programme of the Division for Sustainable Development - a part of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
Background
The UN Conference on Sustainable Development (known as Rio+20) called for the convening of a third international conference on SIDS in 2014. [paragraph 180 of The Future We Want]
The 67th session of the General Assembly further adopted a resolution outlining modalities for holding the 2014 SIDS conference. [A/C.2/67/L.40] Notably, in paragraph 5, it was decided that the conference should:
a) assess the progress to date and the remaining gaps in the implementation of international agreements;
b) seek a renewed political commitment to effectively address the special needs and vulnerabilities of SIDS by focusing on practical and pragmatic actions;
c) identify new and emerging challenges and opportunities for the sustainable development of SIDS and ways and means to address them including through the strengthening of collaborative partnerships between small island developing States and the international community;
d) identify priorities for the sustainable development of SIDS for consideration in the elaboration of the post-2015 UN development agenda.
Preparatory Process
Paragraph 9 of the modality resolution articulates a regional preparatory process in each of the three SIDS regions (i. Atlantic, Indian Ocean and South China Sea—or AIMS; ii. Caribbean; and iii. Pacific). There will also be an interregional preparatory meeting for all SIDS to identify and develop input for the 2014 conference, and to maximize coherence and complementarity with respect to other preparatory work. The effectiveness of the preparatory process will depend greatly on national-level preparations that will feed into these regional and global meetings.
The Role of Major Groups
Major groups are nine sectors of social, economic and technical stakeholders in sustainable development that were defined in Agenda 21. The nine sectors are: Women; Children and Youth; Indigenous Peoples; Non-governmental Organizations; Local Authorities; Workers and Trade Unions; Business and Industry; Scientific and Technological Community; Farmers.
Paragraphs 17 and 21 of the modality resolution stress the need for the effective participation of relevant stakeholders, including major groups identified in Agenda 21, in the 2014 SIDS conference and its preparatory process.
Non-state actors that identify with one (or several) of the major groups sectors will participate in the 2014 SIDS conference as observers, and they will be invited to make statements on the floor, attend meetings with governments, and take part in other related side events such as workshops and trainings.
It is essential that representatives from major groups coordinate with each other well in advance to become fully conversant in the process. The Division for Sustainable Development, through its Major Groups Programme, will lend support to those coordination efforts, relying on a focal points system to ensure that information is disseminated effectively throughout the nine sectors.
At this stage, we will begin setting up a network of participating organizations from major groups in anticipation of the three SIDS regional meetings and the interregional meeting for all SIDS this year.
As in years past, there has been some limited funding for representatives from major groups to participate in the preparatory meetings, as well as the conference itself. We will keep you informed of such opportunities as soon as they are made available.
