Small Islands Voice Global Forum - Message Index
Small Islands Voice, UNESCO-CSI, Paris, France
Self-description: [Description published at http://www.unesco.org/csi/smis/siv/Forum/forum.htm - ed.] "A Small Islands Voice [http://www.unesco.org/csi/smis/siv/sivindex.htm - ed.] global internet-based forum, running since October 2002, engages the general public in small islands in an online debate on issues relating to environment and development.
Key issues are aired on this forum, and people send their responses to notify--at--sivglobal.org. All the responses are carefully read and compiled, and the most interesting ones are posted on the forum. The key issues, as well as the selected responses, are also sent out by e-mail, once every two weeks. To view this global forum, visit http://www.sivglobal.org. [...] One of the discussion subjects considered by the forum in 2005-06 concerned the 'Viability of very small islands.' A separate e-discussion group [http://www.unesco.org/csi/smis/siv/Pacific/pal-act8-e-discuss.htm - ed.] is being established to discuss growth and development in small island nations."
