IISD RS is pleased to announce that the newest issue of MEA Bulletin is now available.

The 50th issue of MEA Bulletin includes reports on recent discussions in the UN General Assembly on private investment’s role in mitigating climate change, and a meeting on “Operational Modalities for Future Work of the International Tropical Timber Council.”

The guest article was authored by K. Madhava Sarma, former Executive Secretary, UNEP Ozone Secretariat, & Durwood Zaelke, President, Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development.

“Start, then Strengthen: The Importance of Immediate Action for Climate Mitigation” suggests taking immediate action “to learn what works best to limit climate emissions and enhance sinks, and to build confidence to strengthen efforts in the future,” and identifies a number of actions on which to focus in the near term.

MEA Bulletin is a publication created by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), in cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme’s Division of Environmental Law and Conventions (UNEP DELC).
