The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA), the highest-level global environmental decision-making body, serves as a platform for member states and stakeholders to address pressing environmental challenges. The sixth session of UNEA (UNEA-6) is a critical moment for shaping international environmental policy on the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. To date, Member states have submitted twenty-one (21) Draft Resolutions and two (2) Draft Decisions for further negotiations.

Recognizing the importance of youth engagement in the decision-making processes that directly impact their future, Informal Youth Consultations (IYCs) will be organized virtually to gather perspectives, insights, and recommendations from young leaders, experts and advocates. These consultations will focus on reviewing and providing inputs on draft resolutions and decisions to be negotiated at the Sixth Open-Ended Committee of Permanent Representatives Meeting (OECPR-6) preceding UNEA-6.
The outcomes derived from these IYCs will play a pivotal role in shaping the formal interventions/statements of the CYMG during OECPR-6 and UNEA-6. Additionally, they are designed to contribute substantively to the Global Youth Declaration on Environment.
