Report cover

UNEP has launched its Annual Report on Private Sector Engagement, which showcases the impacts of its engagement with business and industry in 2021.

The Report, which was presented to the Committee of Permanent Representatives on 10 February 2022, highlighted how UNEP has been targeting more business entities where transformation will have a global impact and tackle the triple planetary crises of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste.

In 2021, UNEP engaged with private sector entities worldwide through bilateral partnerships as well as more than 40 initiatives, platforms and networks, with increased participation particularly in the areas of climate change, sustainable finance, and resource efficiency.

UNEP will continue to work closely with businesses, the financial community, and industrial sectors to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to address the triple planetary crises.
