Civil Society
UNEP plays a significant role in catalysing action to protect the environment through enhanced collaboration with the multitude of major groups actors who share the same purpose around the world. UNEP's strategy on enhancing major groups engagement is based on engagement at the policy level to take into account major groups expertise and views at the intergovernmental level, and on the programmatic level in implementation of UNEP's work programme.
Labour and Environment
UNEP’s Labour & Environment initiative aims at strengthening the role of international labour communities in areas related to environmental development in particular and sustainable development in general. It also aims at promoting the active participation of workers and their trade unions in decisions on the design, implementation and evaluation of national and international policies and programmes on environment and development.
Delivering as One
The “One UN” pilot initiative aims at testing how the UN family can deliver in a more coordinated way at country level. The objective is to ensure faster and more effective development operations and accelerate progress to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The One UN pilots will also spur other countries into putting in place the processes and mechanisms to enable the UN to deliver as one.
Poverty and Environment
The UNDP-UNEP Poverty -Environment Initiative (PEI) is a joint programme to provide financial and technical support to countries to build capacity for mainstreaming poverty-environment linkages into national development planning processes, such as PRSP’s and MDG Achievement Strategies.
South South Cooperation
South-South Cooperation is a relatively new UNEP initiative that is being promoted as an essential cross-cutting mechanism designed to enhance UNEP’s ability to deliver capacity building and technology support activities in the field of environment in developing countries and regions of the South.
