The fourth session of the UN Environment Assembly will take place from 11-15 March 2019, in Nairobi, Kenya, under the overarching theme “Innovative Solutions for Environmental Challenges and Sustainable Consumption and Production”.
In preparation to the Assembly, a regional pan-European Major Groups and Stakeholder Consultation was held in Tallinn, Estonia, on 3 - 4 September 2018.
This consultation allowed representatives of the nine Major Groups from the pan-European region (Western and Central Europe, South Eastern Europe, Israel or Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia) to actively engage in the preparatory process of the Assembly, ensuring that regional views and challenges will be properly identified and addressed during the Assembly. Furthermore, the outcomes of the third Environment Assembly and action taken for implementation was discussed. Resource persons from UN Environment and the government of Estonia which has the presidency over the 2019 Assembly were present.
