Overview

The UNEA-6 Cities and Regions Summit is an Associated Event to the Sixth United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6); it is a recurring event organized since UNEA-4 in 2019. The Summit aims to bring together mayors and other representatives from cities and regions worldwide to engage in a collaborative dialogue on the pressing issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Set against the backdrop of UNEA-6, this Summit will provide a
unique platform for cities and regions to exchange experiences, strengthen inter-city and multilevel cooperation; and based on that exchange, to relay the voices of the local and regionalgovernments to the Member States participating in the UNEA-6.
