22nd Meeting of the States Parties to the Mine Ban Treaty, Geneva, December 2025
Important progress has been made to integrate climate and environmental considerations into mine action. Recent milestones include the revision of the IMAS 07.13 and its accompanying technical note; the incorporation of environmental considerations across the Siem Reap-Angkor Action Plan; and the release and rollout of the Green Field Tool (GFT).
The challenge now is to translate these frameworks into concrete action. Affected States Parties must take active steps to embed sound environmental practices within their mine action programmes. This side event will take stock of progress and provide an overview of how affected States are advancing implementation; the Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority will share national efforts to align NMAS with IMAS 07:13 and implement the SRAAP; NPA and CEOBS will present lessons learned from the roll out of the GFT in 8 NPA programmes, and Humanity and Inclusion will present their pilot project from Colombia on integrating climate risks and environmental data.
