Action for a Global Climate Community.

This is a non-profit organisation that convenes talks between government officials, climate specialists,

and civil society groups over the world toward creating a “Global Climate Community” based on equity, solidarity and shared responsibility.  AGCC was founded following an international conference on global warming held at Wilton Park 15th-17th November 2003, and sponsored by the One World TrustThe Chanctonbury Initiative sets out the key principles that could lead to a Global Climate Community.

  Action for a Global Climate Community calls for a new political initiative within the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC) where key developed, particularly the European Union, and key developing countries take the lead in creating this "global climate community" within sustainable development framework.

E-parliament.

Anyone can participate in the e-Parliament by registering on the e-Parliament website.

You can find innovative policy ideas in our hearing reports, briefing papers and ideas bank.  Or you can take a more active role: taking part in advisory votes and adding your comments or suggestions, contributing ideas into our database, or posing or answering questions on the website.

When registering, each individual is asked whether they wish to register as a legislator (state or national), an organisation, a philanthropist, a journalist or a citizen. These categories enable the e-Parliament to communicate with different groups of participants at different moments. While participation is easiest with an internet connection, the e-Parliament also receives post at Post Box 922, 2400 Copenhagen NV, Denmark.

Global Network for Disaster Reduction.

"The role of NGOs is essential in building the resilience of local communities to disasters and supporting local-level implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action. A comprehensive approach to DRR requires a combination of changes in practices at the local level with changes to national and international policies.

Based on this understanding, UNISDR and the Special Unit for South-South Cooperation - UNDP, initiated in October 2006 the development of a 'Global Network of NGOs for DRR'. After an initial period of consultations and joint work, the Global Network was officially launched in Geneva during the “Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction - GP/DRR”, on 5-7 June 2007.

At that time, it was agreed that NGOs should take the lead in further advancing the development of the Global Network and that UN/ISDR would start to play a merely facilitating role after having successfully initiated the process. A Steering Group was established in July 2007 to guide the development of the Global Network. Mr. Marcus Oxley was appointed as the Chair of the Global Network until the holding of the second session of the GP/DRR in June 2009.

In October 2008, a joint announcement was sent out by the UN/ISDR secretariat and the "Global Network of Civil Society Organisations for Disaster Reduction" informing the network members and other stakeholders about the major developments related to the Global Network. The joint announcement can be downloaded from here."
