UNEP and Civil Society: A new landscape for stakeholder engagement in UNEP?

The document serves as a primer to initiate discussions on how the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) can improve its engagement with non-state actors, specifically civil society organisations and Major Groups and Stakeholders, particularly in the context of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).

• UNEP launched the "Perspectives" publication series to ensure that civil society voices are more effectively integrated into discussions concerning sustainable development and the environment.
• The specific discourse between Mark Halle and Felix Dodds is intended as a starting point to enrich conversations about non-state actor engagement, including within the framework of the newly created United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).
