IISD launch of a new version of the website for Latin America and Caribbean

Wednesday, 4 May 2011

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) Reporting Services is pleased to announce the launch of a new version of the website


for our Latin America and Caribbean Regional Coverage Programme (LARC). More interactive, visually pleasant and user-friendly, the new LARC site layout will facilitate your navigation around the website and help you find information that is most relevant to you.

The new LARC site features news articles researched and produced by our team of thematic experts, resulting in all original content.

Features of the new LARC site include:

A knowledgebase of summaries of activities (publications, meetings, statement or projects) by a range of actors, with the option to search these summaries by several categories (subregion, actor, action and issue);
An archive of all posts on the site, organized by date posted;
A clickable map of the region, enabling you to view sustainable development policy news by subregion (Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, South America);
A link to subscribe to LARC-L, a moderated community announcement listserve for policy-makers and practitioners involved in sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean;
A link to the most recent Latin America & Caribbean Regional Update, a periodic feed of recent posts to the LARC Regional Coverage knowledgebase;
A Calendar of upcoming international events related to sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean;
A link to our LARC iCalendar, which automatically updates your own calendar program with upcoming events related to sustainable development in LAC; and
A link to our RSS feed.
We invite you to visit the new LARC site at http://larc.iisd.org/.

Generous start-up funding for LARC has been provided by Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC).

For further information on LARC or to provide us with information about your activity related to sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean, please contact Keith Ripley, LARC Manager, at keith@iisd.org
