About
The 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly opened with a gathering of world leaders from 23-29 September 2020. These leaders and other stakeholders participated in a series of summits, high-level meetings and side events.
IISD’s Earth Negotiations Bulletin reporting services provided coverage of selected side events during the high-level week. These events are listed in the left hand column.
Our Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB) team also covered deliberations during the SDG Moment, the commemoration of the UN’s 75th anniversary, and the Summit on Biodiversity.
Coverage of these events was made possible by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
