Current Programmes at Environmental Education and Training, UNEP

Environmental Education and Training Unit , UNEP

EET at UNEP is visible through many programmes, networks and resources. The programmes include the UNEP Environmental Leadership Programmes such as programmes on environmental management, information management, environmental law, women and natural resources and through UNEP's commitment to supporting environmental action learning activities that link schools with their communities.  Innovative leadership programmes targeting future leaders are being developed with a focus on integrating human, environmental and sustainable development dimensions.  As for the networks, UNEP has established and strengthened environmental networks for environmental training at the regional and subregional levels all around the world - from Europe to southern Africa, from Latin America and the Caribbean to Australia, and from the Himalayas to the USA. In discharging this function, the core principles that underlie every Programme and Initiative are that they must be responsive, locally relevant, functional, and action driven.
