26 th Session of UNEP GC/GMEF Debriefing Nairobi, Kenya, February

Main Themes Ministerial consultations and roundtables focused on emerging policy issues under the overall theme of contribution of UNEP to the preparatory process for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in Specific themes addressed: –“Green economy” –“International environmental governance (IEG)”

"The world is again on the Road to Rio, nearly 20 years after the Earth Summit that has defined humanity's response to sustainable development over the intervening years." Achim Steiner

Close to 100 ministers and over 130 countries attended UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum

Green economy UNEP presented a pivotal new report on how a transition to a Green Economy might be achieved by countries.

International Environmental Governance (IEG) How do we strengthen the maze of institutional and financial arrangements relating to the environment, globally and nationally in order to effect real, tangible and transformational change that decouples growth from degradation?

International Environmental Governance (IEG) As a result of this Governing Council, the direction for that reform has been given a greater focus, new momentum and taken on a greater sense of urgency which will inform the discussion, debate and finally the outcome of Rio+20 next year.
