The Issue Caucuses of the NGO Steering Committee are focused on the different issues involved in sustainable development.  To see a list of Issue Caucus Co-ordinators, go to the Steering Committee's 1999-2000 membership list.   

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.
