UNEA7: Advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet

The seventh session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7), convening in December 2025 under the theme “Advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet,” marks a pivotal moment for global environmental governance. As CGIAR participates for the first time as an official observer, discussions address land restoration, soil and water health, antimicrobial resistance, land–sea interactions, fire management, coral reef resilience, and artificial intelligence in environmental governance. Through negotiations, science–policy engagement, and an MFL-led side event, UNEA-7 underscores the need to translate integrated, science-based solutions into tangible outcomes for resilient landscapes and livelihoods.
