The fourth session of the United Nations Environmental Assembly convenes to discuss innovative solutions for environmental challenges as well as sustainable consumption and production. Follow UNEA #SolveDifferent to learn the latest.
The Assembly’s theme hones in on innovative solutions to address three focus areas:
(a) environmental challenges related to poverty and natural resources management, including sustainable food systems, food security and halting biodiversity loss;
(b) life-cycle approaches to resource efficiency, energy, chemicals and waste management; and
(c) innovative sustainable business development at a time of rapid technological
change.
The Assembly will examine the evidence from the latest global assessments and the need to create a system of circular and sustainable consumption and production. Read more about the agenda, side events, and access interactive program here and follow UNEA4 live here.
