Thank you for the invitation to speak at the Global Major Groups and Stakeholders Forum. We at UNEP hold this well-established platform in high esteem and consider it an integral part of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).
UNEP, and the environmental movement, has travelled far since its birth at the 1972 Stockholm conference. Our journey has sometimes been difficult, but it has always been guided by vision. By science. By the certainty that a healthy environment benefits everyone, everywhere.
