A half-day workshop entitled "International Environmental Governance - the Role of UNEP," was held 1 May 2001 at the Bahá'í International Community offices in New York, during the PrepCom for the WSSD. Co-supported by LEAD International, the World Federalist Movement, World Humanity Action Trust, and UNED Forum, and hosted by the Bahá'í International Community, the workshop sought to provide NGO input to the 21st Governing Council Session of UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) and to initiate discussion regarding the international architecture needed for sustainable development. Shown above are several workshop participants. From left to right are Paul Hohnen, an international environmental consultant, Maria Ivanova of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and Lawrence Arturo of the Bahá'í International Community.
