Membership and "positive" news

Very encouraging to see membership increasing. Please continue to spread the word and upload your interesting and useful documents  - we will be sorting out categories, presentation etc in the coming months. Indeed, we have the first non-EC document posting from Holly Mergler at UNDP. Many thanks! This is one of the ideas of CAP4DEV.

The environmental and climate challenges faced by humanity are certainly not to be taken lightly and indeed there are a lot of things to be pessimistic about. But we also need to look at the positive side of the coin, seize possible opportunities etc. I will (try to) use this blog to update on what I see are interesting stories for all to read. To get off on a positive note, I felt it would be good to share this story with you:

Lets hope there will be more of this... but for sure we will also be seeing many more not quite so upbeat stories as the year unfolds.

PLEASE! make sure that I am not the only one blogging on this group - it should be open for all.
