WED is commemorated each year on 5 June. It is one of the key ways through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness on the environment and enhances political attention and action.

Through this new website we want to inspire individual UN Staff members to support and contribute to a greener UN and a greener lifestyle. Worldwide awareness and knowledge on the environment will be stimulated and inspired.

Initially this website is focusing on UN in Nairobi, where the UNEP Headquarters is based. Together with UNON and UN Habitat many initiatives have been undertaken to green Gigiri, the UN Compound in Nairobi. With time, we stimulate to include examples and success stories from many other UN duty stations!

Please let us know if you have comments on this website or you have any suggestions on improving this website.

Enjoy the website and thank you for your cooperation to make the UN Green!
