On 20 and 21 February 2002 the Danish Government hosted a Round Table in
preparation for the UN World Summit on Sustainable Development. The purpose
of the event was 'to further a common understanding of the roles and
contributions of the private sector and the civil society in bringing about
sustainable development'.

Representatives from governments, business, trade unions and NGOs addressed
four themes:

ˇ   Good governance for sustainable development
ˇ      Private investment and trade for sustainable development
ˇ      Promoting transfer of sustainable technology in the energy and water
sector
ˇ      How can the private sector and the civil society contribute to the
realization of a Global    Deal?

The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) has
prepared a report on the Round Table
(www.iied.org/pdf/wssd_CopenhagenRT_report.pdf ) and a background paper
(www.iied.org/pdf/wssd_CopenhagenRT_background_paper.pdf) which outline
current discussions on the realisation of a 'Global Deal' at the
Johannesburg Summit, and the contributions envisaged from other sectors.
