THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT ASSEMBLY 2017: SUMMARY OF A SURVEY AMONG PARTICIPATING MAJOR GROUPS AND STAKEHOLDERS

The third session of the United Nations Environment Assembly attracted a large participation from Civil Society. The theme of the Assembly, “Towards a Pollution-free Planet” resonated with a wide audience who wanted to share their views on the matter and how their constituents are affected by pollution. Following the Assembly, UN Environment sent an electronic survey to Major Groups and Stakeholders participants requesting for their feedback and recommendations on the Assembly, its associated meetings and events and included questions on communication, logistics, and registration portals as well as on the substantive themes of the Assembly and suggestions towards the fourth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly. 135 individual responses were received
