The Baha'i International Community’s 10-member delegation took part in the 64th Annual UN DPI/NGO conference, which focused on Sustainable Societies, Responsive Citizens (Bonn, Germany, 3-5 September). Delegates came from seven countries and were led by May Akale and Ming H. Chong (Baha'i International Community's Representatives to the United Nations).

The Community's involvement at the Conference was multi-faceted and included a workshop to discuss values underlying sustainable consumption and production; a discussion to explore specific aspects of the Green Economy (including the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty); and contributions to the Conference Declaration.
