What is environmental emergency?
Any "sudden-onset disaster or accident caused by natural, technical, or human-induced forces, or a mix of these, that causes or threatens to cause serious environmental damage as well as loss of human lives and property" is referred to as an environmental emergency. 13 November 2002 (UNEP/GC.22/INF/5).
An environmental emergency can happen after a disaster or conflict when the ecosystem has been significantly damaged or when the release of toxic or hazardous substances is endangering human health and livelihoods. Fires, oil spills, chemical mishaps, the disposal of toxic waste, and groundwater pollution are a few examples.
