According to paragraph 35 of the Bridgetown Declaration, the Bureau of the Forum of Ministers of the Environment is in charge of supervising the performance of the Forum and must provide support for the functioning of the Forum together with the Executive Director of UNEP. Therefore, the Bureau must meet periodically to provide inputs, contribute to monitoring and review the implementation of the Forum Decisions.
This meeting is organized by the Chair of the Forum, Mr. Franz Tattenbach, Minister of Environment and Energy of Costa Rica, with the support of the Office for Latin America and the Caribbean of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) as Secretariat of the Forum.
