Global Intergovernmental Meeting on Minerals and Metals

When: 7th and 8th September 2023

Where: Geneva, Switzerland

More information.

Between April and September 2023, there will be two-day intergovernmental regional consultations dedicated to stocktaking of existing activities and actions in the public and private sectors to enhance the environmental sustainability of minerals and metals, including based on the outcomes of the implementation of the UNEA-4/19 resolution on mineral resource governance.

Following the regional consultations, a 2 day in-person global consultation will be held on 7th and 8th September 2023 in Geneva which will highlight the key findings of the regional consultations and provide an opportunity to gather additional feedback to potentially inform a co-chairs’ summary of outcomes. Participants will also be able to provide written input to the consultations prior to and after the consultations.

The detailed agenda of the two-day regional intergovernmental consultations and global intergovernmental meeting will be determined in due course in consultation with the co-chairs. Invitations will be sent out at least one month prior to the consultations.

Member States and other stakeholders are invited to submit suggestions and proposals  in advance of the intergovernmental meetings on enhancing environmental sustainability of minerals and metals management (OP3). Please send your inputs to: UNEA5.12@ggkp.org
