First to welome you to the forum dialogue and to thank you for your comments which I liked. I am Uchita de Zoysa and from Centre for Environment and Development based in Sri Lanka
First the ide of NGO side event - we are discussing daily NGO strategy sessions to assist many NGOs to be focused and impactfull in the different working group sessions. The NGO forum itself will be the kick-off for this.
I fully agree with you about the points on recomendation #2 - point 6. The Marrackech process and the european appraoch has been so much towards equating eco-innovation and efficiency as the solution SP. This point will come very strongly out in the Context NGO Paper that is currentely being edited.
Similarly, your point on regulating corporate communications as in regulating corporate behaviur, I agree needs to be highlighted and well placed within out recomendations. I also share that the NAPs for SCP have to address the regulatory messures on corporate behaviour and communicaions.
The point on Task Forces are cetialy like a shopping list, but the idea is to challenge the existing ones which play a very narrow role in the SCP dialogue. The Marrakech process need to addess key issues such as Equity and Wellbieng centrally and the it isnot happening. After 5 years of strong lobbying I finally see poverty coming into the Marrakech process, but has no comprehension shown what so ever in the background paper on the 10YFP.
Once again, thank you and please do send in your recomendations, if the paper has mised out on any as well.
