Fw: Climate Change Events at the CSW

[Jacqui Patterson]

Greetings Friends,

 

Thought you all might be interested in the below and attached climate change related events at the upcoming United Nations Commission on the Status of Women meeting in New York, (March 1-12) http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/beijing15/index.html

 

I'll soon prepare and send an updated document with descriptions of each event.  (This list was compiled by an adhoc Women and Climate Change Group of New York based NGOs.)

 

Most warmly,
Jacqui
