Highlights for Tuesday, 2 October 2007 On Tuesday, 2 October 2007, the Latin American Regional Consultation towards an IMoSEB opened in Bariloche, Argentina. Participants heard opening presentations, and then divided into two working groups to discuss options for a possible IMoSEB, including the particular needs of Latin America, and how to apply an IMoSEB at the local scale. The Latin American consultation is the fifth in a series of regional consultations, and is scheduled to conclude on 3 October 2007. |
