Full transcript en transcript

Welcome back.
Hi, everyone.
I will attempt to be succinct because I believe you all have a number of guests after the noon briefing.
It's a busy morning.
So just to give you some updates on what's happening in the GA this week and the PGAs engagements, this morning happening now, there's the high level debate on the theme preventing and combating illicit trafficking in wildlife and other crimes that affect the environment that's happening in GA Hall until 1:00, and at 3:00, there will be informal consultations on the modalities of the political declaration of the high level meeting to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Durban Declaration and P of action that's happening in CR two.
On tomorrow, the PGA will undertake official travel to Nairobi, Kenya.
She will be there on the ninth and 10th of June and while there, she will highlight Yunnan central role in advancing advancing multilateral action on peace, sustainable development, and environmental protection.
Some of the meetings that she will have, she will meet with the Director General of UNN, the Executive Director of UNEP, the Deputy President of Kenya, and then she will also meet with the UN country team led by the UN resident coordinator there.
She will also conduct field visits to projects that are being implemented by UN entities in Nairobi, and she will engage with civil society representatives in a better together dialogue that will emphasize the importance of inclusive partnerships and translating the commitments in the pact of the future into tangible results.
The rest of the week, including on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, there are a number of informal consultations that are happening across the House, including on the political Declaration on sea level rise that's happening over the course of a number of days in the Economic and Social Council chamber, There's also the informal consultations on the progress Declaration of the high level meeting on HIV and AIDS, and that's happening across several rooms across several days, including Wednesday and Thursday and also on Friday.
And there's also on Thursday in the morning and afternoon informal consultations on the political Declaration to renew commitment and accelerate the implementation of the new urban agenda.
So a lot of informal meetings happening across the House this week and the PGA has traveled to Nairobi.
Just to give you all an update, we'll also be sharing via email.
As you know, we do have another interactive dialogue on Monday the 15th in the afternoon.
That's next week Monday at 3:00 P.M.
In the trusteeship Council.
There will be the interactive dialogue with SG candidate Maria Fernandes Espinoza.
She will speak to press at the stakeout after her dialogue concludes that evening.
So that will be in the regular location outside of the GA Hall, the GA stakeout.
And we will also be sharing passes with press who are interested in attending in the room in the trusteeship council.
So look for some information on that.
Malou will again share passes on a first come first serve basis for press who would like to observe the dialogue within the room and attend in person rather than watching it online.
So those are the updates for this week.
Excellent.
Any questions online in the room? Oh, excellent.
All right, everyone, have a good week.
Thank you.
