Read the following registration details and submit registration requirements accordingly.

Recent assessments of the impact on the ongoing economic crisis increasingly highlight the deteriorating social and political fallout in the least developed countries and middle-income countries as well. Prospects for an early recovery have faded, forcing countries to prepare for a prolonged downturn in trade, investment and employment.

The situation in the world?s developing countries ? which contributed least to the crisis and are most severely affected ? has led some economists to warn of ?lost decades for development? which could have catastrophic consequences for rich and poor countries alike. ?In the midst of the most serious economic downturn since the Great Depression, we now have the opportunity and the responsibility to search for solutions that take into account the interests of all nations, the rich and the poor, the large and the small?.

In this effort, it is vital to draw on ?technical expertise and practical wisdom? from all over the world, and from countries at every stage of development, as well as from international organizations, academia, private sector organizations, and civil society. In addition to the impact of the crisis on development, the conference will also focus on discussions on reforming and strengthening the financial and economic system and architecture.

The conference will consist of plenary sessions and four interactive round table exchanges among world leaders and representatives of the United Nations system, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, as well as civil society organizations and the private sector.

The four Roundtables for examining and overcoming the world financial and economic crisis and its impact on development will address the issues of:

(1) the impact of the crisis on employment, trade, investment and development, including the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals and the Millennium Development Goals;

(2) actions and appropriate measures to mitigate the impact of the crisis on development;

(3) the role of the United Nations and its Member States in the ongoing international discussions on reforming and strengthening the international financial and economic system and architecture;

(4) contributions of the United Nations development system in response to the global financial and economic crisis on sustainable.

This is the meeting of the G-192.? To amplify the voices of all countries, rich, poor and middle income, and to clarify global thinking on the most  far-reaching 21st century challenge to date, the General Assembly has held a number of timely interactive debates and consultations on the issues to provide inputs into the conference.
