Storyline

Senior officials today (29 Feb) called for action and solutions at the opening of the High-Level segment of the sixth edition of the UN Environmental Assembly (UNEA-6).

The UNEA is the world’s highest decision-making body on the environment and aims to help restore harmony between people and nature.

Delegates’ focus has also been on Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). These regional and international accords, some of which are more than 50 years old, have helped to protect endangered species and limit chemical pollution, among other concerns.

At a press encounter, the Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Inger Andersen said, “there are a total of some 15 decisions that will have quite important implications for how governments may choose to amend their laws to be in compliance with how to manage toxic waste, how to manage and deal with air pollution, how to ensure that you can get healthier people and thereby also having a healthier planet.”

For his part, the President of Kenya William Ruto said, “an event like this is one such big event because it brings knowledge, it brings awareness, it makes other countries aware of what that, what the rest of the globe is doing.”

UNEA-6 concludes on Friday, and representatives from more than 180 countries have been negotiating resolutions on issues ranging from nature-based solutions and highly hazardous pesticides to land degradation and drought.
