The world is facing a triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste.
The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has been a leading advocate for the environment and a trusted partner for over 50 years, providing science-based advice to policymakers and decision-makers to support action on environmental challenges.
This booklet presents an overview of UNEP – its mission, vision, strategy and action for tackling the triple planetary crisis. It chronicles environmental highlights from the past five decades, shows how UNEP works in partnerships, and explains why it is crucial that funding provided to UNEP keeps pace with the growing expectations placed on the organization to deliver results in support of people and planet. It also gives evidence of UNEP being a trusted and relevant partner on the journey towards planetary sustainability.
It is also an invitation to partners to share the journey.
