The UN Science-Policy-Business Forum convened a full-day agenda in support of the Sixth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) on 27 February 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya.

Facilitated in a dynamic and interactive format, the UN-SPBF’s impactful program featured ministers, star speakers, and visionaries from the business sector, governments, scientific institutions, and civil society. Its Special Sessions concentrated on solution-driven thought leadership that aligns with UNEA’s theme – “effective, inclusive and sustainable multilateral actions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution” – and the Executive Director’s Report.

The morning session focused on Sector-Wide Transitions, looking at sustainable value chains in mining, the urban environment, the fashion industry and soil health. The afternoon session focused on Financial and Economic Tools and Integrated Early Warning Systems.
