Major Groups are the sectors of society recognised in Agenda 21 as having a substantive contribution to make to the achievement of a sustainable future. 

At the CSD, the major groups are represented by various organisations, such as the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, and AIESEC.  

Some of the major groups are very active in the NGO Steering Committee's activities, and work in together with other NGO and major group representatives.  Others maintain good links with the Steering Committee.   To view the list of major group representatives to the Steering Committee, go to the membership list.
