Gleneagles Dialogue in Monterrey: Views from Civil Society

By Jennifer Morgan

Chatham House Gleneagles Dialogue civil society process

Chatham House prioritized organizations and networks with specific expertise in energy and climate issues, as well as those involved in delivering development strategies in LDCs. Over 350 organizations worldwide have been engaged electronically, and some of these have participated in a number of roundtable meetings in London.

This paper presents views that are shared by the majority of civil society organizations; however, it should not be presumed to embrace and capture all civil society views and perspectives.

Three background papers were provided to the expect groups in June who prepared for this Ministerial session. These papers and the continuing consultation process have provided key inputs to the author of this paper.

Chatham House would like to thank the UK government who has provided the funding for this process. Civil society does not presume automatic access to the Gleneagles Dialogue and is
appreciative for the opportunity to present this paper to the ministers. It is hoped that governments will value this input and provide the means to ensure continued participation by civil society in the Gleneagles Dialogue.
