Inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is a leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system, and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. Established in 1972, UNEP’s mission is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.
Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, UNEP works through its divisions and regional offices to address a wide range of environmental issues, including climate change, disasters and conflicts, ecosystem management, environmental governance, chemicals and waste, resource efficiency, and environment under review. UNEP’s work is guided by the need to ensure that environmental sustainability is a core component of development planning and decision-making processes worldwide.
UNEP operates in numerous African countries, addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable development across the continent.
UNEP runs various programs such as the Climate Change Adaptation Unit, the UNEP Finance Initiative, and the Global Environment Outlook, offering opportunities for collaboration, funding, and participation in environmental projects.
UNEP has been instrumental in the development of international environmental conventions and protocols, such as the Paris Agreement and the Montreal Protocol, significantly impacting global environmental policies and practices.
