| dc.description | This policy was prepared by the secretariat of the United Nations Environment Programme
(UNEP) pursuant to Governing Council decision 27/2 on the implementation of paragraph 88 of the
outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, adopted by the
Governing Council of UNEP at its first universal session, held in Nairobi from 18 to 22 February
2013. That decision called for the active participation of all relevant stakeholders, particularly those
from developing countries, to be ensured, drawing on best practices and models from relevant
multilateral institutions, and for new mechanisms to be explored to promote transparency and the
effective engagement of civil society in the work of the governing body of the United Nations
Environment Programme and that of its subsidiary organs, building on best practices in multilateral
organizations.*
This policy therefore sets forth the proposed new mechanisms for the promotion of
transparency and the effective engagement of civil society with the Assembly and its subsidiary
organs, to be submitted to the Assembly at its first session, to be held in Nairobi from 23 to 27 June
2014. | en_US |
