The first meeting of the Group of Friends of the UN Environment Organization (UNEO) took place in Agadir, Morocco, from 12-13 April 2007.

Participants noted the broad consensus that has emerged in favor of a general reform of the current system and discussed various ways wherein the process of setting up a UNEO could be taken forward, outlining its mandates and institutional aspects. The group was formed at the Paris Conference for Global Ecological Governance, held from 2-3 February 2007, and is according, to IISD sources, supported by 52 countries. The second meeting will be hosted by Costa Rica at the end of 2007.
