I facilitated five events and spoke at one in Quito as the event had no negoations as the New Urban Agenda had already been agreed in New York then it was an event full of side events. A kind of Global Forum of ideas.

Who could not buy a Panama hat which is a traditional brimmed straw hat of Ecuadorian origin. Traditionally, hats were made from the plaited leaves of the Carludovica palmata plant, known locally as the toquilla palm or jipijapa palm, although it is a palm-like plant rather than a true palm.Straw hats woven in Ecuador, like many other 19th and early 20th century South American goods, were shipped first to the Isthmus of Panama before sailing for their destinations in Asia, the rest of the Americas and Europe, subsequently acquiring a name that reflected their point of international sale, "Panama hats", rather than their place of domestic origin.

 One of the events i facilitated was the German governments Follow up on the New Urban Agenda
