What is being referred to as the World Summit has been a huge happening
of countless events, pre-conferences, workshops and actions in and around
Johannesburg. Most of the events were overarched by one of the following
three main hubs of activity (click on the links for detailed information),
all located in Johannesburg:
The official UN summit, where delegations
and governments met to deliberate on the poltical
declaration, the plan of implementation
and the partnerhip agreements;
the official summit ran from August 26 to September 4.
The Global Peoples Forum and the Peoples
Earth Summit, where Civil Society
gathered to exchange ideas, develop common perspectives and positions
and make their concerns heard all over the world; the "official"
Global Peoples Forum ran from August 19 to September 4 whilst the "alternative"
Peoples Earth Summit was open August 23

The Ubuntu Village, where governments and
businesses exposed best practice examples in a colourful exhibition
on sustainable development and held workshops and conferences.
