The 12th Special Session of the Governing Council / Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GC/GMEF) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will be held from 20 to 22 February 2012 at the United Nations Office in Nairobi, Kenya. The ministerial consultations during the twelfth special session will focus on emerging policy issues under the overall theme of "The environmental agenda in the changing world: from Stockholm (1972) to Rio (2012)".

LET'S MAKE IT GREEN

The 12th Special Session of UNEP's Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GC/GMEF) will aim to be as climate neutral and environment friendly as possible. Measures include offsetting of greenhouse gas emissions caused by participants travel to and stay in Nairobi, a reduction in the number of hard copies of all documents, and communication campaigns. Delivering "green meetings" is a commitment UNEP made in its Climate Neutral Strategy that ensures that the organization undertakes all its work in more sustainable ways

In preparation for its twelfth special session of the Governing Council/ Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GC/GMEF) to be held from 20th to 22nd February 2012 in Nairobi, UNEP is organizing the thirteenth Global Major Groups and Stakeholders Forum (GMGSF-13) from 18th -19th February 2012 in Nairobi.

This forum is meant to facilitate Major Groups and Stakeholders of Civil Society participation in the UNEP Governing Council and its associated meetings. GMGSF-13 will also provide a platform and one of the last opportunities for Major Groups and Stakeholders and Governments to exchange on their respective positions for Rio+20 and strategize further for the conference itself.
