WHAT WE DO
We convene issues-based consultations, round-tables, thematic conferences and in-depth negotiations between top scientists, policy makers, citizen science groups and the business sector.
We showcase positive impact of transformative green solutions and technologies and take stock of the policies and investments required to scale up successful models.
The Forum plays an important advisory role to the UN Environment Assembly by building consensus, encouraging cooperation and tearing down traditional barriers between these sectors.
