UNA Deal: UN Earth Day event - reforms to the UN to achieve the Green Economy

Stephen Hockman QC and Dr Frank Biermann will be speaking on what reforms are needed to the United Nations to achieve the Green Economy objective from the 'The Future We Want' outcome document  that was agreed at Rio de Janeiro in 2012.

Stephen Hockman QC is currently the Honorary President of UNA London & Southeast region. He will be talking about the need for an International Court for the Environment. Dr Frank Biermann will be speaking on other necessary reforms (such as the need for a UN environment organisation) based on his book, Earth Governance, published in October 2014.

The main objective is to produce a policy action paper from the event that can be taken forward for adoption by the United Nations Association - UK in May and contribute to changing international environmental governance.
