📣Today we had BBNJ at #UNEA6! Pleased to have moderated the "Stepping Together Toward Ratification and Implementation of the BBNJ Agreement" on this MEA Day! 🎉 Congratulations to Gobierno de Chile and Permanent Mission of Palau 🇵🇼 for being the first to ratify the treaty! #NatureAction



This #InternationalWomensDay, I celebrate 🙌 women like Mariam Ngare and others 🌍 who exemplify how empowering underprivileged women benefits entire communities. UN Environment Programme remains committed to mainstreaming gender considerations in its work. unep.org/news-and-stori…

It is very encouraging to see the impact of UN Environment Programme -led interventions in biodiversity conservation in Southeast Asia with funding from Global Environment Facility (GEF). These concrete actions are a true reflection of UNEP's commitment to global marine resource sustainability and ecosystem restoration.
