Delegates discussed implementation of the UN General Assembly’s Resolution 73/333 on strengthening global environmental law and governance, and considered the organisation of a special session to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) in March. The remaining agenda items will be discussed in-person from Sunday to next Tuesday.
On the sideline of the UN session, leadership dialogues were hosted online to consider environmental aspects of sustainable development and how they can be used to shape a more resilient and inclusive post-pandemic world.
