15 April 2011: The Sustainable Development Issues Network (SDIN) has launched an online platform for NGOs to exchange information on activities leading up to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20).

SDIN is a coalition of NGO networks facilitating participation in the UN’s sustainable development processes. The coalition aims to promote good governance and enhanced awareness and knowledge about environmental and sustainable development processes, and to ensure “quality NGO participation” in these global processes.
