Advisory Group on Environmental Emergencies (AGEE)

UNEP and OCHA have established the international Advisory Group on Environmental Emergencies (AGEE) as their most important cooperation and support mechanism for the response to environmental disasters. The AGEE is an international forum that brings together environmental experts from around the world to share information, expertise and lessons learned for improved response to environmental emergencies worldwide, and in particular in developing countries. The Joint UNEP/OCHA Environment Unit serves as the secretariat to this group.

The Advisory Group meets once every two years to share experiences and new approaches in the field of response to environmental disasters, as well as to review the work of the Joint Unit, and to provide advice and guidance on areas for development and future activities.

To date, five meetings of the AGEE have been held.
