The United Nations
Environment Assembly (UNEA) will convene in
Nairobi from 26 February to 1 March
2024,
bringing together governments, civil society
groups, journalists, the scientific community, the
private sector, people of all ages – and you!
As the first major
international gathering ahead of this year’s
historic United Nations Summit of
the Future, it’s fitting that the
Assembly will focus on effective, inclusive and
sustainable multilateral actions to tackle climate
change, biodiversity loss and
pollution as the environmental
“must-do list” is growing ever
longer.
As
UNEP’s head Inger
Andersen told leaders last week,
“UNEA holds the power to weave agreements and
promises into a tapestry of action,” telling all
to “focus on the urgent. The unexplored. The
critical […] to ensure that the resolutions will
help us build a roadmap to go further and faster
on the environment.”
