1995

At the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development in Copenhagen (UNWSSD) (1995) daily experiential workshops and seminars on framing global issues around underlying values were conducted by the Values Caucus on such topics as the new visionary leadership and values -- to standing room only crowds.

In addition the Values Caucus organized an extensive and intensive lobbying process to influence the documents of the UNWSSD. Daily interactions with governmental representatives and support from Ambassador Somavia were successful in the inclusion of values for the first time in the final documents. The Values Caucus was invited to address all 184 governments. As representative of the Co-Chairs, and the Caucus Nancy Roof introduced the rationale for the fundamental need to address values in global affairs in the plenary session of UNWSSD.
