affiliations within their respective parliaments. Delegations can also comprise parliamentary staff.

development, climate change and health.
ORGANIZATION OF PROCEEDINGS

as fruitful and enriching as possible, the following rules will apply:

prepared statements. Subject to arrangements that the Chair may make to suit the
circumstances, oral contributions may not exceed three minutes. Participants may speak
several times on each item, particularly to respond to other statements.
b)
DOCUMENTS
Where possible, the IPU Secretariat will make available on the IPU website any presentation(s) on the
topics discussed.
Participants wishing to distribute relevant documentation to their colleagues will be required to provide
it in sufficient quantities and place it on a designated table.

A report will be presented at the end of the event. It will contain a summary of the conclusions and a
series of actionable recommendations.
