The sixth Forum of Ministers and Environment Authorities of Asia Pacific (6th AP Forum) will take place from 26th to 29th August 2025 in Nadi, Fiji. The event is jointly organized by the Government of Fiji’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change and the United Nations Environment Programme.
The Forum provides a platform for governments, intergovernmental organizations, and other stakeholders to discuss and prioritize environmental issues in the Asia Pacific region. It aims to contribute to the outcome of the seventh session of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-7) taking place from 08 to 12 December 2025 in Nairobi, with the theme “Advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet”.
The Forum offers Member States and other stakeholders an opportunity to present an Asia Pacific perspective on discussions at UNEA-7. Participants will review the progress of UNEA resolutions’ implementation in the region, as well as the progress made in regional forums and platforms where United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the secretariat. Such forums include the Asia Pacific Clean Air Partnership, Asia Pacific Adaptation Network, Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia, and the Asia-Pacific Regional Forum on Environment and Health.
Furthermore, the Forum will identify regional priorities and emerging issues, and address challenges and opportunities to strengthen the regional environmental agenda, delivering on environmental dimension of the SDGs, and regional commitments to multilateral environmental agreements. Participants will contribute to the draft UNEA-7 result documents, including ministerial statements and draft resolutions, and will share their insights and ideas to achieving the environmental dimension of the 2030 SDGs.
At the Forum, participants will assess the implementation progress of UNEA resolutions in Asia and the Pacific, review regional environmental initiatives, and contribute to the UNEP’s next Medium-term Strategy (2026-2029) and the Programme of Work (2026-2027). The Forum will also provide an opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to the draft outcome documents of UNEA-7, including the ministerial declaration and draft resolutions.
