EASD participated at a webinar to highlight the contributions of stakeholders to UNEP@50 & Stockholm+50 , on October 13, 2022.

Stockholm+50 was held from 2-3 June 2022 in Stockholm, Sweden, to commemorate the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Environment and celebrate 50 years of global environmental action. Towards Stockholm+50 is a joint initiative by Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future (SF) and the Norwegian Forum for Development and Environment- ForUM. The project’s aim continues to be to engage the widest variety of non-state actors – globally – to raise awareness about the legacy of 50 years of implementing environmental policies, with a series of lectures and other resources. Towards Stockholm+50 is a stakeholder-led initiative funded by the United Nations Environment Programme’s Civil Society unit with support from the Government of Sweden. The project began in January 2022 and run through the end of October 2022.

To note, recently Stakeholder Forum was delighted to announce the appointment of Irena Zubcevic as its new Director.
