EU Commissioner Dimas to attend UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD)

European Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas will participate in the ministerial segment of the annual meeting of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) in New York from 9 to 11 May.

The session will complete a two-year cycle of discussions focusing on energy, climate change, industrial development and air pollution. The main outcome is expected to be a document identifying the key policy measures to accelerate countries' implementation of measures in these areas.

The discussions on climate change are intended to complement and set in a wider policy context the discussions under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will be taking place in parallel at official level in Bonn, Germany. Commissioner Dimas will also hold bilateral discussions on climate change and other issues with ministers from a number of non-EU countries.
