The 21st Global Major Groups and Stakeholders Forum (GMGSF) will take place on the 7 and 8 December 2025.
The Forum provides an avenue for Major Groups and Stakeholders to craft their stances, statements, and contributions for the UNEA-7 process, encompassing formal meetings and negotiations conducted within the Assembly.
As the Forum is also open to organizations that are not accredited by UNEP, it offers an opportunity for both accredited and non-accredited stakeholders to exchange perspectives among themselves and with representatives from the UNEP Secretariat and interested Member States. The primary objective is to foster dialogue and collaboration in addressing significant environmental issues within the framework of the UNEA-7 agenda.
