UNEP’s Support to MEAs
With the proliferation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) at the global and regional level, there has been a growing need for a strategic approach to increase collaboration between MEAs. UNEP’s Division of Environmental Law & Conventions (DELC) was established in 1999 at UNEP headquarters in Nairobi in order to:
- Provide substantive support to MEAs, partner organizations and developing countries in the implementation of MEAs;
- Promote of collaboration with and between MEAs leading to synergies at the global, regional and national level;
- Increase collaboration between UNEP’s activities and those of MEAs.
