The Indigenous Peoples’ Coordinating Committee for the World Summit on Sustainable Development (IPCC-WSSD)
The National Khoi-San Consultative Conference (NKOK), on behalf of the Indigenous Peoples’ Coordinating Committee for the WSSD (IPCC-WSSD), would like to formally invite you to participate in the International Indigenous Peoples’ Summit on Sustainable Development. The venue will be at Hoffe Park Conference Centre, 30 Birbeck Rd., in Kimberly, South Africa. This will be held from 20-23 August 2003, a few days before the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). The WSSD will be held in Johannesburg from 26 August to 4 September 2002. The arrival date for the Indigenous Peoples International Summit is 19 August and the conference proper will be from 21-23 August. 20th August will be spent in visiting the villages of our hosts, the Khoi and San. Peoples. On the 24th of August, the participants who plan to participate in the WSSD will travel to Johannesburg.
The main objective of this conference is to bring together indigenous peoples from all parts of the world to share their perspectives on sustainable development and their contributions in achieving this. This will also allow indigenous peoples to identify the main obstacles to their effective participation in bringing about sustainable development. This International Summit will come out with a Kimberly Political Declaration of Indigenous Peoples and an Indigenous Peoples’ Plan of Action for Sustainable Development.
