In advance of third session of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-3), UN Environment's North America office is organizing a multi-stakeholder regional consultation titled, 'Towards a Pollution-Free Planet'. The event is hosted by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, and will feature speakers who will address the human and economic costs of pollution while highlighting opportunities for policy change at the national and sub-national level. Panels will be followed by an active discussion to solicit inputs for key messages that will be presented at the Environment Assembly.
In the lead up to the Assembly, UN Environment is inviting voluntary commitments from governments, businesses, and the public to address pollution, and for people to sign the Clean Planet Pledge to take actions to reduce their pollution footprint.
