The fifth United Nations Environment Assembly was followed by a special session, called UNEP@50, held 3 - 4 March 2022, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

The theme for the special session was "Strengthening UNEP for the implementation of the environmental dimension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

UNEP@50 has been a time to reflect on the past and envision the future. It provided an opportunity to reinvigorate international cooperation and spur collective action to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. No country or continent can solve these global crises alone. But each nation has a crucial role to play in protecting our people and planet.
