The second EMG (UN Environment Management Group) Nexus Dialogue to be held on 13-14 July in New York will focus on the poverty and environment nexus in the SDGs.

A subsequent policy segment will address challenges and opportunities for enhancing environment and poverty nexus partnerships as well as issues that require strategic planning by the UN system, including through the work of the EMG.
