The sixteenth review session of the Commission on Sustainable Development, more commonly known as CSD-16, takes place at the United Nations Headquarters from the 5^th to the 16^th of May. CSD meets yearly and was established to ensure effective follow-up to the Earth Summit of 1992. The Pacific Islands have always had very active participation at CSD with many countries sending Ministers to New York. Small Island Developing States (SIDS), which all of the Pacific Islands are members of, have always been one of the focal points of CSD. The topics that are of particular interest to the Pacific this year include agriculture, rural development and land.
