  3. WECF • Network of women’s and environmental NGOs (about 100 members) • EECCA region (implementation of projects and advocacy work) • Issues: Water and sanitation, chemicals, sustainable rural development and energy

  4. WECF and UNFCCC • Present with delegation from EECCA region • Organisation of side events • Co-operation in establishment of women’s constituency

  5. Women’s Constituency • Women organised under other groups, such as ENGO and Trade Unions • Last to become acknowledged (Barcelona 2009) • Support of women by individual countries – but not enough • Good channels of communication with Secretariat

  6. Lessons learned • Process more formal – self-organisation of civil society • Process attracts lots of attention – more active engagement necessary

  7. Recommendations • Keep up dialogue • More financial commitment to support major groups’ participation at meetings • Facilitate process for participation of a large number of civil society members • Provide copies of draft texts at any time • Provide better speaking slots for civil society representatives
