The Natural Resources Forum, a quarterly journal issued by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and published by Blackwell, is inviting your views on the following question for the Viewpoints section of the November 2010 issue:

"How can the stigma of public transport as the 'poor man's vehicle' be overcome to enhance sustainability and climate change mitigation?"

The Viewpoints section offers a platform for academics, practitioners and experts to share their perspectives and to feature these perspectives alongside other responses in the journal. Each entry should be 200 words or less addressing the above question. Our Editorial Team will select contributions that address an important dimension of the debate.

The deadline for submission to the Viewpoints for the May 2010 issue is: 15 August 2010.

We look forward to receiving contributions at nrforum@un.org. When submitting a contribution, please provide your name, title, affiliation and contact details.
