Consistent with this view and with due regard to the changing political landscape of Europe, notably the growing role and influence of the EU both at regional and global levels UNEP's Regional Office for Europe (ROE) in Geneva will firstly continue to support and promote the European inputs to global environmental policies and discussions, including the pan-European preparations for UNEP's Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GMEF), the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
