EMG High Level Forum Summary and Documents
Summary: On 24 January 2006, UNEP
chaired the High-Level Forum of the EMG which was attended by senior
representatives of a large number of UN entities and Secretariats of
Multilateral Environmental Agreements. The Regional Economic
Commissions, Commonwealth Secretariat and non-UN administered
conventions were also represented. Participants had an opportunity
to reflect on the prevailing concerns relating to enhanced
system-wide coherence in the fields of environment and human
settlements. Among its other achievements, the EMG High-Level Forum
recognised the fact that, in view of the ongoing UN reform
processes, there might be a need for a strategic reorientation and
refocusing of the EMG’s terms of reference and work methods. The
following summarised ideas and perspectives were presented at the
Forum: 1) providing a platform for contributing to broad
environmental policy development in key issue areas; 2) undertaking
joint implementation on major initiatives such as the Bali Strategic
Plan on Technology Support and Capacity-Building (provide link); 3)
enhancing the EMG’s financial resource base; 4) strengthening EMGs
administrative and delivery capacity; and 5) facilitating support
for the contribution of the EMG to the on-going UN reform
initiatives, particularly
UN Secretary-General’s Panel which is undertaking a new study in
the areas of humanitarian assistance, environment and development.
