The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is pleased to announce the launch of

Asia-Pacific Regional Coverage

(http://sdg.iisd.org/) and

ASIAPACIFICSD-L

Asia-Pacific Regional Coverage is a knowledgebase that tracks international activities addressing sustainable development issues within the Asia-Pacific region. Asia-Pacific Regional Coverage is managed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) Reporting Services, with support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).

ASIAPACIFICSD-L is our newest community listserv. It provides a communication tool for the international sustainable development policy community to share information about their Asia-Pacific regional activities.

Features of the Asia-Pacific Regional Coverage knowledgebase include:

• Summaries of activities (publications, meetings, statements and projects) by a range of actors, and an option to search the summaries by several categories (subregion, actor, action or issue);
• An archive of all posts to the site, organized by date;
• A clickable map of Asia-Pacific, enabling users to view the latest news by subregion;
• A link to subscribe to our newest community listserv, ASIAPACIFICSD-L to join our moderated community announcement lists for policy-makers and practitioners;
• A link to the most recent Asia-Pacific Update, a weekly newsletter of recent posts to the knowledgebase, distributed via email through the listserv;
• A Calendar of upcoming international events related to sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region;
• A link to our iCalendar, which automatically updates your own calendar program with upcoming Asia-Pacific related events; and
• A link to our RSS feed.

IISD manages and is fully responsible for the content posted on Asia-Pacific Regional Coverage. Information on United Nations activities is provided in cooperation with the UN system agencies, funds and programmes through the UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB).
