Information brief - IUCN at UNEA-7
UNEA represents a key moment for governments, international organisations, civil society, businesses, women and youth to gather and discuss the world’s most pressing environmental issues. IUCN’s delegation this year will be led by the Director General, who will deliver a statement on behalf of the Union during plenary and will engage in UNEA-7 ’s high-level segment.
IUCN is highly engaged in this key gathering for the global environmental agenda. Through the Centre for Policy and Law, and coordinating inputs from thematic centres, IUCN has provided detailed inputs to the draft Ministerial Declaration and to the resolutions proposed by Member States. These resolutions that are brought forward shape the environmental agenda for the years to come. Moreover, on December 8th, IUCN will host an official side-event titled "Flow Forward: Transboundary water cooperation to restore and sustain water ecosystems from source to sea”, together with the European Commission, Finland and Slovenia.
