BSGN is UNEP's one-stop-shop for environmental Best
Practices and Success Stories. BSGN seeks to enhance
the visibility of and raise awareness about environmentally
sound practices and about the successful implementation
of environmental initiatives of the global community
in general, and UNEP in particular.
It is a network
of partners that will help to encourage knowledge sharing
and promote replication of successful practices wherever
possible. BSGN is a UNEP-wide service showcasing the
impacts of its work, that of its collaborators, and
the global public towards poverty alleviation, sustainable
development, and environmental protection.
What is our reason for being?
Our mission is to enable people throughout the world
to improve the quality of life, by sharing knowledge
and creating partnerships in caring for the environment.
What
is important to us?
We seek to empower people through the provision of information
on environmentally sound practices.
BSGN's operations
and services are aimed at providing information and
advisory services on environmental management, with
a bias on the key areas of institution-building. As
such, BSGN seeks to grow a network of partners dedicated
to sharing information on innnovative practices and
the application of lessons learned.
These partners
serve as regional as well as thematic resource centers
ensuring geographic coverage and providing specialised,
technical, and substantive support to the provision
of information on key sectoral and crosscutting environmental
issues.
BSGN, by way
of this website, also acts as a clearing-house for her
partners in the collection of best practice and success
story submissions for various schemes. These services
are extended to include storage, vetting and evaluation,
submission to award schemes, and specialised information
management requirements, as deemed necessary but the
partners.
BSGN's services
also include Content Syndication to disseminate data
from our repository, or in association with our partners,
from other specialized sources, to other websites or
Internet-based destinations. These services will soon
be extended to cater off-line requirements. More>>
