E-deleGATE
In July 2024, UNEP started the transition of the current e-mailing system towards e-deleGATE.
Any Member State, IGO or UN employee wishing to continue receiving emails from the UNEP Secretariat of Governing Bodies after the 30 September will need to have an e-deleGATE account.
If you do not have an e-deleGATE account yet, please contact your e-deleGATE administrator in your mission, organization or Ministry and they will create an account for you so you can continue to receive our CRP and UNEA related correspondence after 30 September 2024.
Frequently asked questions

Who can have access to e-deleGATE?
Access to e-deleGATE is for Member States, observer States, IGOs, MEAs and UN system entities only. Major groups and Stakeholders do not have access to e-deleGATE at the moment and will therefore continue receiving emails from the Secretariat as before.

Organization of work
The final outcome of the Consensual Process for Review by the Committee of Permanent Representatives as endorsed in paragraph 1 of UNEA decision 5/4 provides measures for the improvement or the efficiency and effectiveness of the Committee of Permanent Representatives of the United Nations Environment Assembly and its subsidiary bodies.
In paragraph 41 (j) of the Chair’s Summary of the 9th annual subcommittee meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives and endorsed at the Resumed 160th Meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives the Committee recommended that the CPR Bureau supported by the Secretariat :
- Prepare a strategically planned roadmap for CPR quarterly and subcommittee meetings, indicating provisional relevant agenda items, well in advance of the meetings;
- Develop a standing agenda for quarterly CPR meetings that will include a report of the CPR subcommittees with recommendations for consideration by the CPR, quarterly reports to the CPR, relevant audits and evaluation reports, and preparations for UNEA-6;
- Prepare annotated agendas well in advance to the meetings that provides information on background documents, focus of the discussion and possible recommendations;
- Prepare background documents well in advance that will include possible recommendations; and
- Clearly outline agreed recommendations and decisions in the report of the CPR, with the understanding that there is a specific agenda item during which those recommendations are agreed upon.”
The guidance on the organization of work for the Committee of Permanent Representatives contains consensual conclusions, such as working timelines and arrangements, pertaining to the implementation of paragraph 41 (j) referred to above. This guidance was endorsed by the CPR as its resumed 162nd meeting.
Communications
Based on established practice, the UNEP Secretary will no longer circulate individual communications, including formal letters and Notes Verbales from Member States, non-Member States, the European Union as well as other intergovernmental organizations to the members of the CPR and the environmental focal points, with the exception of the following:
- Communications from the President/Chair of an intergovernmental body for which UNEP serves as the Secretariat.
- Subject to a decision by the Secretariat, invitations to UNEP-relevant meetings, side events and receptions. Furthermore, delegates are also invited to use the United Nations Journal at Nairobi to inform Member States and Stakeholders of such meetings/events.
The UNEP Secretariat will continue to make available relevant and timely information from the Executive Director and Division Directors on issues related to UNEP, UNEA, the CPR, Multilateral Environmental Agreements, or other intergovernmental processes.
