The resumed fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly will take place online and in Nairobi from February 28 to March 2, 2022. UNEA-5 brings together representatives of the 193 UN Member States, businesses, civil society and other stakeholders to agree on policies to address the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
