Fifth Montevideo Environmental Law Programme Regional Meeting and Third ASEAN Environmental Law Conference - Tentative Agenda

Regional environmental law issues sit within a broader context of global environmental challenges that require both regional and global governance solutions. In March 2019, the UN Environment Assembly adopted the Fifth Montevideo Programme for the Development and Periodic Review of Environmental Law (Montevideo V). Montevideo V is a ten-year intergovernmental programme running from January 2020 to December 2029. UNEP is the Secretariat of the programme. The objectives of Montevideo V include supporting the development and implementation of adequate and effective environmental legislation and legal frameworks to address environmental issues and the promotion of the role of environmental law in the context of effective environmental governance.
