Environment (UNEP – UNEA)
The United Nations Environment Program, has recently obtained universal membership, meaning that all 196 member states of the United Nations participate in its governance and programs. Every 2 years, UNEP hosts the United Nations Environmental Assembly held in Nairobi, Kenya, where global environmental governance issues are addressed through resolutions proposed by member states for adoption. UNEA provides a good platform to plan and review the implementation of the environmental dimension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, ahead of the High Level Political Forum.
Since 2005, UNEP has adopted the Major Group and Stakeholder format to ensure diverse civil society engagement. The Women’s Major Group at UNEP, is co-facilitated by two organizations, currently the Global Forest Coalition and the Niger Delta Women’s Movement for Peace and Development, supported by regional and global partners from APWLD, RSOROPTIMISTS, WECF, WOCAN, etc. There is a close cooperation between WMG at UNEP, and the WMG for the 2030 Agenda, in particular where the Sustainable Development Goals are concerned.
