Equilibres & Population (E&P), the host of this year’s EuroNGOs conference and AGM, and the EuroNGOs secretariat are pleased to invite you to the 2008 EuroNGOs conference on “The Interface between Population, Environment and Poverty Alleviation - Possibilities and challenges for SRHR advocacy (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights) against the background of ICPD (International Conference on Population and Development) and the MDGs (Millennium Development Gaols )”, which will be held 2-3 October 2008 in Lyon, France.
The interest in environment and population issues is growing among donors, policy makers and the development cooperation community, and this interest could be an entry point for EuroNGOs members and partners to open up to and build alliances with other key development constituencies (especially environmental) advocating for the ICPD Programme of Action and the MDGs.
Hence, EuroNGOS conference 2008 will provide an overview of the current climate change and environment discussions in the framework of development policies and programming. It will focus on the respective challenges and opportunities for a rights-based European SRHR advocacy network, taking into mind that the linkages between population, poverty, the environment and climate change have already been made and the possibilites of mainstreaming climate change are already discussed among international as well as EU researchers and stakeholders.
Further information about the conference as well as a preliminary programme are available at http://www.eurongos.org/Default.aspx?ID=1571.
The deadline for registration is prolonged to: August 31, 2008
