The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is committed to engage with business and industry to find out how we can work together and generate a common purpose for sustainable development.
Engagement Modalities
Public Events, Trainings and Campaigns in which the private sector can take a more active role to increase awareness and capacity building on sustainability-related issues.
Open Networks and Policy Discussions hosted or convened by UNEP.
Multi-stakeholder Fora often focus on a specific topic or aim to develop a specific industry through multi-stakeholder interaction. The goal is to share best practices amongst participants and provide them with active opportunities to contribute to developing a common framework, principles or guidelines that can set the future direction for a specific industry.
Partnerships, Alliances and Networks based on collaboration and active engagement with a private sector entity or coalition of entities to reach specific goals in which all parties agree to invest resources (knowledge and expertise, research and technological development, funding and core assets).
