Regional forums of environment
ministers take place every two years in the lead-up to the meetings of the UN
Environment Assembly (UNEA) — the body created by the Rio+20 conference in 2012
to be “the world’s parliament on the environment.” Organized by the UN
Environment Programme (UNEP) and hosted by Member States in turn, the regional
forums provide an opportunity for countries to discuss and agree on which
priorities they will put forward for adoption as UNEA resolutions.
