Debido a las restricciones relacionadas con la pandemia COVID-19, los Estados miembros decidieron organizar el quinto período de sesiones de la Asamblea de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente (UNEA-5) en dos partes. La primera parte (UNEA-5.1) se celebró virtualmente desde Nairobi (Kenya) los días 22 y 23 de febrero de 2021, con un orden del día revisado y simplificado que se centró en decisiones urgentes y de procedimiento.
Los resultados de la UNEA-5.1 están disponibles aquí.
Statements from countries, UN agencies, and international organizations are available here.
Substantive matters that require in-depth negotiations, as well as the Ministerial Declaration under the theme of UNEA-5, were deferred to a resumed session of UNEA-5 on 28 February – 2 March 2022 (UNEA-5.2), and would be prepared at a resumed fifth session of the Open-Ended Meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives (OECPR-5.2).
The resumed session (UNEA-5.2) took place in Nairobi, Kenya, on 28 February – 2 March 2022, to consider remaining substantive matters related of the agenda, as well as a Ministerial Declaration under the theme of the Assembly, “Strengthening Actions for Nature to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals”.
Immediately after UNEA-5.2, the Assembly held a Special Session of the Assembly on 3-4 March 2022, which was devoted to the 50th anniversary of the creation of the UN Environment Programme in 1972 (UNEP@50).
More information about the UN Environment Assembly, including on the outcomes from its previous sessions, is available here.
