The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is recognized as the leading global authority on the environment.

Its 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 collaborated 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 actively driving transformational change by addressing the root causes of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution.

Its work is focused on assisting countries in transitioning 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 in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and living in harmony with nature.

And this work has never been more critical.
