The Commission was an interesting experience, particularly from a U.N. organizational analysis perspective. The 45th session was the first year of a new structure to the Commission: one where policy issues were dealt with through a two-year cycle. The first year is a review year and the second is a policy year. It was clear that most of the people there didn't really understand what was going on, and there were a number of disperate components working aside of each other with relatively little cooperation.

For more reflections from U.S. youth delegates at least, check out the blog of SustainUS, the U.S. youth network for sustainable development, at www.sustainus.org/blog
