20.110 根据《2030 年可持续发展议程》，特别是可持续发展目标中的具体目标 12.6，其中鼓励将可持续性信息纳入报告周期，并按照大会第 72/219 号决议第 19 段规定由大会执行的贯穿各领域的任务，欧洲经委会正在将环境管理做法纳入其业务活动。2018 年的一个重点是，远程参加能力建设活动和正式会议的方式明显得到更广泛的采用。例如，在《奥胡斯公约》框架下，分三次举办了一系列视频会议，以便在《联合国气候变化框架公约》缔约方会议第二十四届会议上促进《公约》的各项原则，与会者约有 100 人。2018 年，多名参与者通过电话会议参加了该《公约》遵约委员会召开的所有三届会议。在许多其他会议上，包括在环境次级方案下举办的大多数会议上，发言者通过视频会议方式参加会议，通常配有口译服务。2020 年，欧洲经委会将继续把其碳足迹减少 10%，为此将减少公务差旅次数，同时寻求其他手段，比如在可能的情况下利用因特网或电话会议设施促进远程参与。此外，在《奥胡斯公约》框架下采取的上述做法预计将在 2020 年推广，计划举行遵约委员会的一届会议，所有有关方、参加者和观察员将远程参加这届会议，以就《公约》理事机构将于这一年举行的一次会议采取后续行动。《奥胡斯公约》秘书处也将在 2020-2021 年不再要求提交纸质国家执行情况报告，因为它正在开发一个在线报告工具；目前正在为欧洲经委会的另一项多边环境协定采取类似举措。由于目前正在根据战略遗产计划对日内瓦的会议室进行翻修，预计将有机会进行高质量的远程演讲并为其配备全面口译服务，参与度将大幅增加，从而使欧洲经委会的所有次级方案均受益。
20.110 In accordance with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in particular target 12.6 of the Sustainable Development Goals, in which the integration of sustainability information into reporting cycles is encouraged, and in compliance with the cross-cutting mandate of the General Assembly in paragraph 19 of its resolution 72/219, ECE is integrating environmental management practices into its operations. In 2018, a highlight is a significant broadening of the use of remote participation in both capacity-development activities and formal meetings. For example, under the Aarhus Convention, a series of three videoconferences was organized to promote the principles of the Convention in the twenty-fourth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, reaching approximately 100 people. Multiple participants joined all three sessions of the Convention’s Compliance Committee via teleconference in 2018. At many other meetings, including the majority under the environment subprogramme, speakers participate by videoconference, often with interpretation. In 2020, the Commission will continue to reduce its carbon footprint by 10 per cent through a reduction in the level of official travel and will also seek other means, by using the Internet or teleconferencing facilities to promote remote participation where possible. In addition, the above-mentioned practice under the Aarhus Convention is expected to grow in 2020, with plans for a Compliance Committee session in which all parties concerned, participants and observers, will join remotely to follow up on a meeting of the Convention’s governing body to be held that year. The Aarhus Convention secretariat will also discontinue in 2020–2021 the requirement to submit national implementation reports on paper, as it is developing an online reporting tool; similar initiatives are under way for at least one other ECE multilateral environment agreement. With the ongoing renovation of conference rooms in Geneva under the strategic heritage plan, it is expected that opportunities to have fully interpreted high - quality remote presentations and participation will increase significantly, to the benefit of all ECE subprogrammes.
