Responses
DESA reports: 30. Supporting this, as well as numerous other recommendations made by the Permanent Forum at its seventh session, the Division for Sustainable Development hosted a side event during that session to promote and inform indigenous groups about opportunities for involvement in the Commission on Sustainable Development
process. The Division has also encouraged and facilitated active contributions by indigenous peoples’ organizations to the work of the sixteenth session of the Commission on Sustainable Development, held in New York from 5 to 16 May 2008, and the seventeenth session, comprised of an Intergovernmental Preparatory Meeting, held from 23 to 27 February 2009, and the session itself, held from 4 to 15 May 2009. The Commission on Sustainable Development cycle (sixteenth and seventeenth sessions), addresses progress in implementing sustainable development commitments outlined in Agenda 21, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, and the Mauritius Strategy for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States in relation to agriculture, rural development, land, drought, desertification and Africa.
