NAIROBI : The seventh session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7), held in the Kenyan capital Nairobi under the chairmanship of His Excellency Dr. Abdullah bin Ali Al-Amri, Chairman of the Environment Authority, concluded with the adoption of an ambitious ministerial declaration aimed at advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet.

Deliberations focused on strengthening cooperation among multilateral environmental agreements, reinforcing the link between resilience and justice, and renewing confidence in the United Nations Environment Programme’s ability to effectively implement its strategic mandate.

In his address at the conclusion of the session, His Excellency Dr. Al-Amri expressed his satisfaction with the successful outcomes of UNEA-7, praising the collective efforts of participating delegations, the Executive Office, the Committee of Permanent Representatives, and the United Nations Environment Programme team throughout the proceedings.

He underscored the vision of the Sultanate of Oman during its presidency of the session, noting that it is founded on the belief that humanity and nature can flourish together. Sustainability, he said, serves as a bridge connecting wisdom and heritage with innovation and the future. He also stressed that responsibility does not end with the conclusion of meetings, but rather begins with implementation.

With broad participation from countries worldwide, international organisations, and environmental and sustainability experts, the seventh session represented a key milestone in global environmental governance. Oman’s leadership stood out through its effective management of negotiations and sessions, fostering consensus and delivering concrete outcomes that drew clear praise from participating delegations.
