UNEP publication, capacity building and biodiversity

11 May 2017/0 Comments/in News/by weec

UN Environment is coordinating the four-year multi-partner programme – Capacity-building related to multilateral environment agreements (MEAs) in African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries, known as the ACP MEAs programme.

A new publication provides an insight into Phase 1 (2009-2013) of the programme with contributions from those at the helm of the various objectives in stopping biodiversity loss, supporting sound management of chemicals and waste, cleaning up obsolete pesticides, combatting desertification, tackling climate change through the clean development mechanism and carbon markets and fundamentally, strengthening implementation of MEAs at the national and regional levels.

It is a critical resource for policy makers, development practitioners, and those involved in capacity building in the environment field by providing case studies as well as testimonials from the beneficiaries.

The programme is supported by the European Commission, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Secretariat for the African, Caribbean, and the Pacific group of states (ACP Secretariat), the African Union Commission (AUC), the Caribbean Community Secretariat (CARICOM), and the Secretariat for the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).

Wishes for the 9WEEC Congress

3 March 2017/2 Comments/in News, Press/by weec

Many organizations and institutions support the WEEC Congress and come the first greetings from those who can not participate directly in the next edition, that to be held in September in Vancouver.
Among these we point out the wishes of Portugal and Switzerland who wrote to the Permanent Secretariat to stress the importance of events such as the WEEC Congress.

Ines Ferreira Alves, Head of Gabinet of the Portugues Ministry of environment writes:
“I do believe that the 9th World Environmental Education Congress, under the trasversal theme Culture/Environment will be a success and will provide a great opportunity to give notice about the importance of the interlinkages between both sectors, issues that have really a universal common and fruitful interst for all”.

And Doris Leuthard, Federal Councillor from the Head of the Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and communication UVEK, Switzerland: “I am convinced that education for the environment is an important task as our economies are turning green and face many political, technical but also behavioral challanges. Such a transition needs the involvement of all the stakeholders and the WEEC congresses contribute to it. I wish you and the organizers the best success in your endeavour to address, in 2017, the interplay between cultural and environmental factors towards sustainable development”.
