This session aims to contribute to an enhanced understanding among State actors and UN agencies of the content and strategies to implement the Escazu Agreement including identifying key elements of a common narrative and high level messages that UN agencies can use to support Latin American and Caribbean countries to implement the Escazú Agreement and to advocate for its ratification in countries which have not done so yet.
