Nexus Conference Update
Dear Friends,
If you haven’t yet registered for the Nexus Conference-Water-Energy-Food-Climate,
it begins on Wednesday so do register online at nexusconference.web.unc.edu . The conference is dovetailed into the end of
the March session of the Sustainable
Development Goals Open Working Group.
This is your chance to leave the snow and cold of New York
for the sun and warmth of Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Stay afterwards and visit the International Civil Rights Museum in
Greensboro where the 1960s civil rights movement started at the Woolworth
Counter that the museum is built around. Or go to a local speak easy in Carrboro
or a wild horse safari on the
Outer Banks.
Thanks to those who contributed to the Declaration, the second draft of which will be online on
Tuesday the 4th of March. The final version will be on the web site
on Monday the 10th of March. It will be submitted to the SDG OWG and
to the UNPGA Office. As you may know we were able to present the Draft
Declaration to the PGA’s Thematic Debate on Water and Energy on the 19th
of February.
All the plenary sessions will be uploaded each evening so if
you can’t come then go to https://nexusconference.web.unc.edu/
and watch them the next day.
Follow us on twitter at @nexusconference and submit
questions to plenary speakers and share your thoughts and comments with the
hashtag #nexus2014.
Our daily newsletter ‘Daily Nexus News’ will appear in my
blog at http://earthsummit2012.blogspot.com/
We will be launching the Academic and Practitioners Network
at the conference as well; if you are interested in joining then please let us
know. The draft concept note for the Network will be online starting Monday the
4th of March on the Nexus Conference front page.
See you at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill.
Warmest regards
Felix
