AMMAN — Within the framework of the post-2015 consultations process in Jordan, a consultation on environmental sustainability was held on Monday under the leadership of the World Food Programme.

Representatives of several government institutions and civil society organisations discussed the role that civil society can play in the implementation of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, with particular attention to the environment, according to a UN statement.

“Environmental sustainability emerged as one of the main priorities from the post-2015 consultations held in Jordan so far,” the statement said.

Participants noted that civil society organisations can play a role in raising awareness on environmental issues across the country.

This would require stronger mechanisms at the local and national levels to facilitate interaction between civil society organisations and national institutions, the statement said.
