Following the established practice, it is expected that the UNEA-7, during its high-level segment, will consider for adoption by consensus a concise and action-oriented draft ministerial declaration, providing high-level political guidance on the implementation of the UNEA-7 theme. 

The UNEA-7 Presidency will provide leadership as the penholder and facilitate intergovernmental consultations in finalizing the draft ministerial declaration, ensuring the broadest possible ownership through an iterative, open, transparent, participatory and inclusive intergovernmental consultations. Throughout the consultation process, the UNEA President will be guided and supported by the members of the UNEA and the Committee of Permanent Representatives Bureaux.
