UNEA-7 Opens in Nairobi Amid Deep Divisions Over UNEP’s Medium-Term Strategy
The seventh UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-7) has begun in Nairobi under tense circumstances, with member states still unable to agree on UNEP’s Medium-Term Strategy (MTS) for 2026–2030. The MTS serves as the organisation’s core mandate, shaping global action on climate change, biodiversity protection, pollution control and land restoration. Despite months of consultations, several delegations are demanding that the text be reopened, while others argue that renegotiation would delay urgently needed guidance for UNEP’s work.
