The 6th Global Civil Society Forum (GCSF) will precede the 23rd Session of the Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environmental Forum (GC23/GMEF). Regional fora will be held prior to the GCSF to allow civil society representatives from different regions to provide their views on international environmental governance and on the definition of UNEP’s work programme for the biennium 2006-07, which is to be determined during the GC23/GMEF.
