Some of these issues are being considered directly by the CSD (indicated in the table).  Others issues are not directly addressed, but are fundamental to the achievement of a sustainable future. 

Issue caucus members work together to prepare coalition NGO position papers, and to lobby government delegates.  Caucuses are also a place for members to network and share information and ideas about approaches to sustainable development.   

Caucuses meet regularly during meetings of the CSD.  Many communicate throughout the year via listserver - you can subscribe to their lists from this web site.
