2022 marked 50 years since the United Nations Conference on the Environment. At the first special session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) commemorating fifty years since the establishment of the UNEP at 50, countries discussed UNEP’s role in the Science-Policy Interface, reflecting on past successes and considering the challenges ahead.

In support of this, the Law Division of UNEP is focusing on a series of initiatives to strengthen science-policy interfaces and is pleased to launch the Science Policy Actions for Redefining Knowledge (SPARK) programme that will focus on bringing knowledge and wisdom in support of science policy interface actions.

The first in the series is a webinar focusing on the role of environmental law and governance in strengthening science-policy interfaces.
