United Nations Environment Programme

The United Nations Environment Programme was created in 1972 following the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment, marking the first major global initiative to address environmental issues. UNEP acts as the leading global environmental authority, providing guidance, scientific assessments, and policy recommendations to countries.

Over the years, UNEP has played a critical role in advancing international environmental agreements, such as the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer. It addresses pressing challenges, including biodiversity loss, marine pollution, and desertification, through programs that focus on sustainable resource management and green economy transitions.

As environmental issues become increasingly urgent, this year’s topic will be working towards developing a Global framework in oder to promote sustainable forest management in hopes to breach the effect of climate change.UNEP ensures that future generations inherit a planet capable of sustaining life and prosperity.
