About this Event
Since 1982, UNEP has conducted its environmental law activities on the basis of sequential ten-year Montevideo Programmes for the Development and Periodic Review of Environmental Law.
The Montevideo Environmental Law Programme promotes the development and implementation of environmental rule of law, strengthens the related capacity in countries and contributes to the environmental dimension of the 2030 Agenda.
In March 2019, the UN Environment Assembly adopted the Fifth Montevideo Programme for the Development and Periodic Review of Environmental Law (Montevideo Environmental Law Programme). It is a ten-year intergovernmental programme on promoting and implementing environmental rule of law, running from January 2020 to December 2029. UNEP is the Secretariat of the programme.
More information coming soon.
