The UN Environment Assembly (UNEA), the world's highest level decision making body on environment, will gather in Nairobi from November 27 to December 6, 2017 under the banner of UNEA III to discuss pollution. UNEA meets biannually and the last meeting was held in Nairobi in 2015.
UNEA has a universal membership of all 193 UN Member States and enjoys the full involvement of UN organizations, specialized agencies, inter-governmental organizations, civil society and the private sector. In bringing together these varied communities, the Assembly provides a platform for leadership on global environmental policy.
