Who the PPCR Observers are:
Active Observers:
- Four Civil Society representatives
- Two Indigenous Peoples representatives
- Two Private Sector representatives
- Global Environment Facility (GEF)
- United Nations Development Program (UNDP)
- United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)
- United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The four representatives from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) were identified through a self-selection process designed and managed by RESOLVE.
The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) has assisted in selecting the two indigenous peoples observers on an interim basis pending agreement among indigenous peoples groups on a self-selection process.
The self-selection process for the private sector was designed and facilitated by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
