The second Open-Ended Meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives (OECPR-2) will take place from 15-19 February 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya. The meeting will prepare the draft resolutions to be discussed and adopted at the second UN Environment Assembly of the UN Environment Programme (UNEA-2), taking place from 23-27 May 2016, on the theme, “Delivering on the Environmental Dimension of the Post-2015 Development Agenda.”

In preparation for UNEA-2, OECPR-2 will discuss a concept note on the conference theme and a global thematic report on “Healthy Environment, Healthy People.” OECPR-2 will consider the draft UNEP Medium-term Strategy for 2018-21, the budget and Programme of Work for 2018-19, and the UNEP stakeholder engagement policy. The meeting will provide advice on a wide range of policy matters, including, inter alia: illegal trade in wildlife, marine plastic debris and microplastics, chemicals and waste, and air quality. The meeting will also report on the deliberations of the Committee of Permanent Representatives (CPR) since UNEA-1, and the review of UNEP programme performance from 2014-15.

The UN Environment Assembly of UNEP represents the highest level of governance of international environmental affairs in the UN system. UNEA-1 took place in June 2014. In February 2013, the former UNEP Governing Council took a decision to convene an open-ended meeting of the CPR to enable the participation of capital-based delegates and stakeholders (UNEP GC decision 27/2, paragraph 10).
