RECOMMENDATION BY THE CENTRE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH ON THE THEME OF THE 2019 ENVIRONMENT ASSEMBLY.

We thank the Bureau of the UN Environment Assembly and the Committee of Permanent Representatives for creating space for Major Groups to submit and make recommendation on the theme of the 2019 Environment Assembly. The previous United Nations Environmental Assemblies have been an opportunity for global leaders to put burning environmental issues on the agenda and to deliberate on future action that saves the planet. Looking back on the theme of the past UNEA, they have been forward looking.
