Description
Organised by: the United Nations Environment Programme
Following a request from the United Nations Environment Assembly (resolution UNEP/EA.5/12) the United Nations Environment Programme is convening a series of intergovernmental regional consultations to develop non-prescriptive proposals that can enhance the environmental sustainability of minerals and metals along their full life cycle. The first intergovernmental regional consultation will be held on 27-28 April 2023 for the Western European and Others Group (WEOG) in Paris. During this session, speakers will provide an update on this consultation process and share initial insights on the environmental aspects of minerals and metals management, particularly on effective international cooperation to enhance environmental sustainability in the mining sector.
