In the lead up to the Environment Assembly, UN Environment’s North America Office will convene two online consultations to raise awareness about the Assembly and discuss the themes of the upcoming session. The two-hour consultations will be held in 10 locations across the U.S. and Canada via video conference. Each location or “hub” will have a maximum of 15 participants, who have the opportunity to share their knowledge on innovation in each subject area.
Information gathered from the consultations will support background documentation for member States and other participants in the Environment Assembly.

5 February 2019: Consultation on Innovative alternatives to Single-Use Plastics
