United Nations Environment Programme | Golden Age

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is a leading global environmental authority that coordinates responses to environmental issues within the United Nations System. UNEP's mandate is to provide leadership, deliver science, and develop solutions on a wide range of issues, including climate change, ecosystem management, and green economic development. With its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, UNEP hosts the secretariats of several multilateral environmental agreements and research bodies, and aims to help the world meet the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. As a member of the United Nations Development Group, UNEP works closely with national governments, civil society, and the private sector to achieve environmental targets and promote sustainable development. With a strong focus on science, policy, and action, UNEP is a key player in the global effort to protect the environment and promote a healthier, more sustainable future for all. UNEP's work is guided by its mission 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.'
