Classified by A/DCM Helen H. Hahn for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).

(C) Pol/Econ chief June 21 delivered reftel demarche on the
"energy cycle" in the UN Commission on Sustainable
Development to MFA Director for International Organization
Affairs Ghassan Shaikho. Shaikho said there was a role for
both negotiated texts and practical activities related to
sustainable development, and did not want to dismiss the
impact a negotiated text could have on a country that harms
the prospects for sustainable development, such as a major
polluter. He agreed that the non-negotiated outcomes
provided experts with practical tools to promote sustainable
development.
