Statements and recommendations by major groups and stakeholders to the United Nations Environment Assembly at its first session

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) regional consultation meetings with major groups and stakeholders are held every year in preparation for the annual sessions of the Global Major Groups and Stakeholders Forum and the United Nations Environment Assembly of UNEP. The outcome of the regional consultation meetings usually takes the form of a statement or key messages and recommendations to the governing body of UNEP, forwarded to member States six weeks before the session of the governing body as an information document.
