MEGA Newsletter

MEGA has issued its latest newsletter on 17 March with much that would be of interest to members of IEF. It opens with a reflection on Planetary health and global governance in preparation for the One Health Summit taking place in Lyon (France) on 5-7 April 2026. This is followed by updates on a number of earth governance initiatives and campaigns, including 1 for 8 Billion; the International Court of Justice case on climate change; environmental protection and an International Anti-Corruption Court; national measures to prohibit ecocide; and how the current session of the International Seabed Authority might address the critical issue of Deep-Sea-Mining. It closes with information on new resources relating to earth governance, including the Global Catastrophic Risks 2026 Report, a Pocket Guide for Environment and Sustainable Development Governance, and the Forest Government Index.

The International Environment Forum is a member of the MEGA Steering Committee, as is the Bahá'í International Community. The Climate Governance Commission, one of the two co-hosts of MEGA, is organised by IEF member Maja Groff, so our ties are very close.
