About us
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Europe Office covers 55 countries. The UNEP Europe Office’s main goal is to provide guidance to national governments at various levels, and to take part in the dialogue on environmental issues between governmental authorities, civil society, the private sector and other stakeholders. We encourage closer cooperation between the main actors in the region, implement projects and provide scientific and legal expertise on challenges facing Europe’s environment. We also undertake awareness-raising initiatives and campaigns, giving Europeans the chance to act towards a greener region while improving the quality of their lives. We host the Geneva Environment Network, the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea (Tehran Convention) and the Framework Convention on the Protection and Sustainable Development of the Carpathians (Carpathian Convention). We also lead an Issue-Based Coalition (IBC) on Environment and Climate Change. IBCs see UN agencies coordinate their support to governments towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
