UNESCO at Mauritius International Meeting (10-14 January 2005) UNESCO has contributed significantly to the forward-planning process associated with the review of the 1994 Barbados Programme of Action (BPoA) for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States and to the International UN Meeting in Mauritius (10-14 January 2005), through events that highlighted the role of culture, youth visioning for island living, communities in action, ocean and coastal management, and a civil society forum. This contribution is underpinned by a resolution (32C/Res.48) adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in 2003.
