* Criteria for Compilations of International Agreements 
In order to enable our effective input to CSD-9, we have compiled "packages" (compilations) of international agreements on the three issues of

Energy

Transport

Information for decision-making and participation / Indicators of sustainable development


All packages have been compiled with a particular view on gender issues. We have tried to include the most relevant paragraphs from all the major UN conferences of the last decade and their follow-up processes:

Sustainable Development/Rio process,

Human Rights/ Vienna process,

Population/ Cairo process,

Social Development/ Copenhagen process,

Women/ Beijing process,

Human Settlements/ Istanbul process,

as well as reports from various Commission meetings, Conventions, and other official UN Documents.


In every case, we have provided LINKS to the full document where we found relevant paragraphs on the issue. In the Energy and Transport package we have quoted only those paragraphs with a particular gender focus (other paragraphs are only linked to).

In the package on Information / Indicators for Sustainable Development, we have also quoted paragraphs that do not have a particular gender perspective.

We have tried to be fairly inclusive but have not quoted every para where, for example, energy is mentioned and limited the QUOTES mostly to those which mention gender / women. We tried to leave out repetitious paragraphs. Also, we have not quoted every para that has the notorious sentence on ‘particularly women and other vulnerable groups’.
