Reflecting on CSD19
Translations available in: English (original) | French | German | Arabic

 

A disappointing outcome?

The morning after was a day to forget. It will be hard to erase the memory of the Saturday morning that CSD ended, the rush of disappointment upon learning of states’ inability to agree with the text. Twitter, as always, was the source of knowledge: #CSD19 closed at 8:52 am Saturday morning, having failed to agree on a resumed session or an agreed outcome. #UNCSD #rioplus20 #rio2012

Yet the anti-climatic failure of the Chair’s text was an empty reflection of the progress made throughout the conference. Negotiation processes were marked by deliberate and concerted attempts by state delegates to make compromises and find solutions to diplomatic tangles. I followed every chemical session, and they were characterised by a high level of calm, geniality and a willingness to work together to find solutions. Each time, I was happily surprised to find disagreements between (chiefly) the US, EU and G77 either being resolved by concerted attempts on the part of each party, or assisted by other countries, particularly Canada and Switzerland. Indeed the chair of the chemical sessions constantly thanked the delegates for their flexibility.

Perhaps the chemicals thematic sessions are a representative microcosm of the entire CSD. Despite the delegates’ hard work, the chemicals text could not be agreed upon. The fundamental issues remained steadfast roadblock to success, rendering any negotiation virtually useless. The problem was clearly not a lack of concern on the part of the governments – at the announcement of failure, several delegates cried. As in many international meetings, it appeared that one or two nagging issues – technology and financial transfer and occupied territories key among them – were enough to damn the entire proceedings and frustrate progress made on so many other issues. Our focus should therefore be to look straight to the touchy issues, to wrangle with them, and, however painful, to find a way to solve them. The future success of any negotiation hinges on that.  

The power of the youth in CSD

Despite its disappointments, CSD19 should be a point a pride for the youth caucus. From the start we were, as always, disadvantaged, struggling to make our voice known, but we made the best of it. CSD has been a process where the youth has fought to gain legitimacy and credibility among the CSD board and member states; CSD 19 is perhaps a demonstration of the progress that we have made.  

MCYG proceedings were highly organised. At its core, it was arranged according to the five thematic sections, with focal points and daily meetings as networks to relay information between each group. The operating partners were our links to the CSD board, keeping us within the loop of overall negotiations. Our ability to both divide labour, while ensure smooth cooperation and communication is best characterised by our closing statement on the final day. We were informed of a chance to speak mere thirty minutes before the closing session. With typical temerity, we divided the statement into different sections to work on before coming together to edit our speech, all within twenty minutes.

It says something that virtually all of the points that each thematic group wanted to see in the text, were taken up by the delegates. Indeed the “Youth and Children Major Group” were quoted in the text itself, no small feat. We met with delegates and ministers from all over the world – Sweden, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, Japan a few examples in a long list – and showed ourselves to be more than just young people with a voice, but committed actors with a purpose and an ability to act.

The Power of Youth in CSD19
Translations available in: English (original) | Arabic


The Major Group of Youth and Children are one of the nine groups of civil society given a voice during the proceedings of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development. This is in accordance with Agenda 21 which gives all areas of society a means of participating in the process of addressing sustainable issues and activities. 


 


These participants of civil society include Business and Industry, Farmers, Indigenous Peoples, Local Authorities, NGOs, Scientific and Technological Community, Women, Workers and Trade Unions and last but not least Children and Youth.


 


The 19th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development was held during a policy year and as one of the major groups, the Children and Youth were able to intervene and present their views on the policies being negotiated. Ways in which they were able to do this is firstly, to follow the negotiations and decide on the changes they feel are necessary. Each major group in civil society was able to request an opportunity to present a statement containing their views and ammendments they wished to include at the end of each negotiating session. Furthermore, youths were able to approach country delegates outside of the conference to present their views to them as well.


 


In this way, the Commission of Sustainable Development gives youths an opportunity to have their views and opinions heard. However, it must be noted that these aforementioned views or suggestions for change, though taken into consideration, are not always implemented into the text. 


 


It would be more accurate to say that the role of youth during CSD is representative. The power of youth lies within this channel of representation as it is a means to present the views and opinions of a group of people who will undoubtedly inherit and be affected the problems and processes of sustainable development. The power of the youth comes from the opportunity given to not let their voices die out and in each opportunity lies the possibility of effecting positive and far-reaching change.
