University of Eastern Finland - UNEP Course on Multilateral Environmental Agreements
The University of Eastern Finland (UEF) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) are jointly organizing a high profile two-week Course on international environmental law-making and diplomacy. The Course transfers past experience in the field of international environmental law to current and future negotiators of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs).
Each Course is based on a specific theme. In addition, the Course provides a forum to foster North-South co-operation and to take stock of recent developments in negotiations as well as in implementation of MEAs and diplomatic practices in the international environmental arena
UEF began its operation in January 2010 as a merge of the Universities of Joensuu and Kuopio. The UEF – UNEP Course on Multilateral Environmental Agreements is the same as the University of Joensuu – UNEP Course on International Environmental Law-making and Diplomacy.
This is the seventh year in which the Course will be held and – as in previous years – the lectures will be given by experienced hands-on diplomats, government officials, international civil servants and members of academia. This year, the course will include, among others, lecturers from the following institutions:
- MEA Secretariats
- Government of Finland
- UNEP University of Eastern Finland
- University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
The seventh MEA Course will be held on 15 to 27 August 2010 in Joensuu, Finland, and this year's special theme will be climate change. Lectures will be delivered by experienced hands-on diplomats, government officials, international civil servants and members of academia.
The Course is intended for experienced government officials engaged in international environmental negotiations. In addition other stakeholders, such as representatives of non-governmental organizations and the private sector, may apply. Researchers and academics in the field of international environmental law are also eligible.
