About the United Nations Environment Programme
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global authority on the environment.
UNEP’s mission is to inspire, inform, and enable nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.
For over 50 years, UNEP has worked with governments, civil society, the private sector and UN entities to address humanity’s most pressing environmental challenges - from restoring the ozone layer to protecting the world's seas and promoting a green, inclusive economy.
UNEP is driving transformational change by drilling down on the root causes of the triple planetary crisis: the crisis ofclimate change, the crisis ofnature, land and biodiversity loss, and the crisis ofpollution and waste.
UNEP’s work is focused on helping countries transition to low-carbon and resource-efficient economies, strengthening environmental governance and law, safeguarding ecosystems, and providing evidence-based data to inform policy decisions.
Through cutting-edge science, coordination and advocacy, UNEP supports its 193 Member States to achieve theSustainable Development Goalsand live in harmony with nature.
And this work has never been more critical.
