About ARM

The Annual Regional Meeting (ARM) is an annual activity of OneWorld South Asia. Its objective is to provide a platform where various agencies and individuals, partners and non-partners engaged in advocating on developmental issues can congregate to pool knowledge and leverage it through partnerships to meet common objectives. The ARM also seeks to highlight new opportunities provided by ICTs to amplify the voices of the voiceless, and empower them to participate in processes for sustainable and equitable development in the region..

ARM 2008

OneWorld South Asia is organising the Seventh ARM on the theme "Climate Justice for Realisation of the MDGs: Southern Perspectives and Voices" on February 8-9, 2008 at InterContinental, Nehru Place, New Delhi 110019.

This meeting aims to take forward the current global debate on climate change, bringing as it does a new dilemma to the South , that of balancing the demands for mitigation and meeting development goals in the region.

The purpose of the two-day deliberation is to establish the relevance of both claims – climate justice and development – for the South (South Asia in particular), identify the contentions between the two in the light of ongoing climate change negotiations, underline the need for continuing and enhanced Southern participation and activism, and explore new avenues for engagement.
