The Future Vessel will be Globetree Side Event at UNEA 4 (United Nations Environment Assembly). UNEP invites ministers of environment for resolutions and dialogue on environmental issues every second year – this year is the fourth one. As an accredited NGO to UNEP Globetree can suggest side events at UNEA.
Closing Ceremony at UNEA 4
UNEP has asked Globetree to plan for the Closing Ceremony of UNEA 4. It is an honor to get this assignment and we will do our best to make the half an hour a memory for lifetime! Our plan is recall the beginning of UNEP – at the Stockholm Conference 1972 and move together with children for the future – to 2022. It’s our hope all ministers and ambassadors will join the children into the Future Vessel and share their personal dreams with one another. Many ideas are moving in the air – the 15thof March, the last day of UNEA 4, we will know!
