HATOF Foundation is attending the sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6), convened from February 26 to March 1, 2024, at the UNEP headquarters in Nairobi.
The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) is the world’s highest environmental decision-making body. At the sixth meeting, the UNEA is meeting under the theme “Effective, inclusive, and sustainable multilateral actions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.”
The Assembly thus aims to restore harmony between humanity and nature, improve lives for vulnerable people, and tackle the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and waste through multilateralism.
Among other matters, UNEA-6 will discuss international environmental policy and governance proposals related to the year’s theme.
The Assembly is preceded by a meeting of the Open-ended Committee of Permanent Representatives from February 19–23, 2024, to consider the proposals for discussion at the UNEA-6 and lay the groundwork for the Assembly to take off.
The sixth Open-Ended Meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives (OECPR-6) serves as a preparatory meeting for the UNEA agenda and pre-negotiation.
It deliberates the content and wording of proposed resolutions, declarations, and decisions for endorsement and approval by the Assembly.
Other meetings to be convened at the Assembly include high-level segment and national statements, Multilateral Environmental Agreements Day, leadership dialogues, and multistakeholder dialogues.
HATOF Foundation delegation is led by the Chiefe Executive Officer, Dr Samuel Dotse, and accompanied by the Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Ms. MaryJane Enchill, and the Partnership and Engagement Officer, Mr. Josh Edem Kojo Dotse
