United Nations Environment Programme

2024

The United Nations Environmental Programme is the leading environmental entity of the United Nations. The organization sets the global environmental agenda and is responsible for ensuring the Sustainable Development Agenda is on track with its environmental priorities. While advocating for the environment globally, the UNEP accomplishes its mandate by assessing a wide range of environmental conditions, developing response mechanisms with member states, and strengthening institutions at the forefront of environmental management.

The flagship report produced by the United Nations Environmental Programme is the Emissions Gap Report, an annual publication that tracks global emissions. The organization provides a wide range of reports and publications on environmental topics which can be found in the agency’s publications portal. UNEP also hosts a data portal where users can track open projects, country presence, and total budget. Within this data portal, the organization provides country portals which are populated with ongoing projects within specific countries, as well as an additional news portal, updated regularly.
