Welcome to the wikiwarehouse of SustainUS policy documents from Agents of Change programs.
The next Agents of Change delegation will be at the 16th UN Commission on Sustainable Development in New York, May 2008. The last delegation went to the Commission on Social Development, and in December 07 we traveled to Bali to participate in the Conference of Parties 13 (COP13) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This was to negotiate a follow-up agreement to the Kyoto Protocol, the global policy on Climate Change.
