UN Member States, non-member States, intergovernmental organizations and entities, including the Secretariats of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements, specialized agencies and UN system entities and major groups and stakeholders accredited to the UN Environment Programme and its governing bodies are strongly encouraged to partner with others to apply to organize an official side event.
All applications received via the online application form will be thoroughly reviewed by the Secretariat based on a set of selection criteria to ensure a broad geographical representation of stakeholders, the potential to add value to UNEA sessions, as well as the resonance in relation to the overall theme for UNEA-7.
