UNEA-5 pathway involving the Multilateral Environmental Agreements

This paper presents possible avenues for enhancing the engagement of UNEP-administered multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) in the preparations for and organization of the 5th session of UNEA (UNEA-5), as called for by some Member States in the context of the CPR review process to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the UNEP governing bodies. 1 To this end, UNEP invited the secretariats of MEAs administered by UNEP to explore options to enhance cooperation between UNEP/UNEA and the MEAs/COPs in relation to UNEA-5.
