The Environmental
Management Group (EMG) is a forum for UN agencies and
MEA secretariats established under the chairmanship of the
UNEP Executive Director as a mechanism for enhancing interagency
cooperation in the field of environment and human settlements.
The first meeting of the EMG in January 2001 established an
Issue Management Group (IMG) to deal with harmonization of
environmental reporting, with a focus on biodiversity-related
conventions. UNEP was asked to serve as the task manager.
