Abstract
2024 is a year that since its inception has been characterized by a series of wide-ranging international events in favour of the environment, biodiversity and global sustainability. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) launched, again this year, a work program to support multilateralism, dialogue and actions based on science, innovation and partnerships, to safeguard the planet. In this context, Sixth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6), hosted in February in Nairobi (Kenya), emphasized the urgency of promoting effective and sustainable multilateral actions to combat climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. A frenetic decade of action has been envisaged by Member States to develop the network of interaction and dialogue necessary to meet these global challenges. In the following months, from March to June, other events of global importance took place, such as the International Day of Zero Waste, against unsustainable humanity consumption and production practices or The Fourth Session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee in Ottawa (Canada), to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment.
