EventRoundtable of Roundtables, Amsterdam, March 27 & 28, 2008

Multi-stakeholder commodity platforms 

Many NGOs around the world are involved in efforts to fight the undesired effects of global trade and to stimulate more sustainable forms of it. Of special interest are the multi-stakeholder commodity initiatives which set the standards for what deserves a green and social label. The Roundtables, on palm oil, soy and biofuels form a relatively new and important example, applauded as well as heavily criticized.

In March 2008 Natureandpoverty.net organized a Roundtable on Roundtables with NGOs that are directly or indirectly involved in them. Here, we discussed progress and bottlenecks in standard setting, participation, governance and implementation. In this section you relevant documentation related to this event.
