Draft Summary Points of the EMG Nexus Dialogue on Sustainable Nitrogen Management - Agenda Item 3: Briefing by the UNEP Secretariat

The aim of the Nexus Dialogue was to spur further understanding of the topic amongst EMG members and pave the way for a more system-wide approach to sustainable nitrogen management, bringing together different perspectives and strengths of UN entities and looking at synergies and policy coherence. The dialogue provided the space for a concrete conversation about the linkages between nitrogen and food systems as well as climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution. It also looked at the strengths of the UN system to mobilize and support countries to address the various aspects as well as the potential for improved policy coordination and scaling up of integrated approaches contributing to sustainable nitrogen management.
