ACP MEAs 3 Quarterly Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 2. June 2021

Abstract

The ACP MEAs is an EC-UNEP partnership programme that begun in March 2009 as an initiative of the European Commission to address challenging environmental issues through the implementation of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) in the African, Caribbean, and the Pacific (ACP) regions. The programme is currently in its third phase of implementation, aiming to assist 79 ACP-countries to enforce and comply with MEAs related to biodiversity (CITES, CMS and CBD) and chemicals and waste (BRS and Minamata Conventions) and deal with issues of Ocean/Seas governance.
