Montevideo, Uruguay from 3 to 5 May 2022

Venue: The Latin American and the Caribbean regional preparatory meeting for the face-to-face segment of the 2021/2022 conferences of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions took place from 3 to 5 May 2022 in Montevideo, Uruguay. The meeting was held back-to-back with a regional meeting of the Strategic Approach on International Chemicals Management, taking place at the same venue on 6 and 7 May 2022.

Meeting Objectives: The objective of the regional preparatory meeting was to give Parties within the Latin American and the Caribbean region the possibility to consult each other in advance of the face-to-face segment of the 2021/2022 COPs, consider meeting documents, discuss substantive matters, identify regional priorities and challenges, and facilitate the preparation of regional positions. The programme for the meeting was developed in consultation with members of the bureaux of the conferences of the Parties to the three conventions from the Latin American and the Caribbean region. As indicated in the programme, certain sessions of the meeting were closed to observers in order to allow Parties to discuss regional positions on items of the agendas of the meetings of the conferences of the Parties.

Working Language: English and Spanish

Organizers: The meetings were organized in cooperation with the Basel Convention Coordinating Centre and Stockholm Convention Regional Centre for Capacity-building and the Transfer of Technology, Uruguay (BCCC- Uruguay). The regional preparatory meetings for the 2022 face-to-face segment of the meetings of the conferences of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions were organized thanks to the generous financial support provided by the Governments of Norway and Switzerland, as well as the European Union through the Programme on Capacity Building related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements in the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries (ACP MEAs Programme).
