Major Groups and Stakeholders Consultations

On March 21st 2018, about 15 representatives of Major Groups and Stakeholders are invited by the UN Environment Programme to come to Nairobi to discuss the follow up to the 2017 Assembly and to give early input into the 2019 session. It will be discussed how to follow up on the outcomes of the third UN Environment Assembly on the theme of pollution and how to prepare for the fourth UN Environment Assembly.

The consultation is taking place back to back to the Joint Preparatory Retreat of the Bureaux of the UN Environment Assembly and of the Committee of Permanent Representatives, which allows for a joint meeting in the morning of the 22nd of March between Major Groups and the Bureaux. This provides the unique opportunity  to present the outcomes of the consultation on March 21st and to engage in a constructive discussion with member states.
