United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Executive Director Inger Andersen, Hon. Soipan Tuya Cabinet Secretary, Environment, Climate Change & Forestry of the Republic of Kenya, and Radhika Ochalik, Director of Governance Affairs at UNEP met with journalists to announce the upcoming sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly to be held in Nairobi Kenya.
The sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) will take place from 26 February to 1 March 2024 at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya. As the world’s top decision-making body on the environment, UNEA aims to help restore harmony between humanity and nature, improving the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people.
UNEA-6 will focus on how multilateralism can help tackle the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. Backed by strong science, political resolve, and engagement with society, the Assembly will be an opportunity for world governments, civil society groups, the scientific community, and the private sector to shape global environmental policy.
As the host country, we look forward to the outcome of UNEA 6 being the Ministerial Declaration, the adoption of the resolutions and decisions, and that UNEA-6 will enhance the solutions to the Triple Planetary Crisis of Climate Change, Biodiversity Loss, and Pollution says Ms. Radhika Ochalik.

I hope the USA and the entire global north responsible for the current global climate woes will attend this assembly without fail.
