Second Intergovernmental Review Meeting of the GPA (IGR-2): 16 - 20 October 2006, Beijing
The Intergovernmental Review Meetings are a forum where Governments and other stakeholders meet to review the status of the implementation of the GPA and decide on action to be taken to strengthen the implementation of the GPA. Building on the success of IGR-1 held in Montreal, Canada in 2001, representatives from governments, inter-governmental organisations, NGOs and other groups are expected to participate in IGR-2 in a highly inter-active and results orientated meeting.
The objectives of IGR-2 are to:
- Strengthen the implementation of the Global Programme of Action at national, regional and global levels.
- Contribute to the achievement of specific targets of the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI) as they relate to the Global Programme of Action, ecosystem approach, and sanitation.
- Provide guidance on the programme of work for the UNEP/GPA Coordination Office for the period 2007-2011.
