A Conversation with UN Environment Programme Chief Scientist, Dr Andrea Hinwood
Event description
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global authority on the environment. For over 50 years, UNEP has worked with governments, civil society, the private sector and UN entities to address humanity’s most pressing environmental challenges - from restoring the ozone layer to protecting the world's seas and promoting a green, inclusive economy.
UNEP is driving transformational change by drilling down on the root causes of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss and pollution. UNEP’s work is focused on helping countries transition to low-carbon and resource-efficient economies, strengthening environmental governance and law, safeguarding ecosystems, and providing evidence-based data to inform policy decisions.
The first public forum from the Bayside Climate Crisis Action Group in 2024, at this event we will be speaking with UNEP Chief Scientist, Dr Andrea Hinwood, who will join us online from Nairobi, Kenya.
