Check Your Contributions

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) depends on voluntary contributions for 95 per cent of the income and is grateful to all partners that support its work. Voluntary contributions consist of contributions to the Environment Fund, the UNEP Planetary Funds and earmarked funds. 

To check the status and trends of voluntary contributions by different categories (click on a country to find out more), as well as the share that is requested from each Member State toward the Environment Fund budget, please see below. 

What is each Member State's share of the Environment Fund budget?

The share that each member state is encouraged to contribute to the Environment Fund is represented by the Voluntary Indicative Scale of Contributions (VISC). This means that each contribution is determined using a tool that was agreed appropriate by the Member States themselves. Applying this tool means that it doesn’t matter if a country is high-income, low-income, or in-between – because each Member State is asked to contribute according to their capacity. Read more in the VISC Infographic and in the Environment Fund Frequently Asked Questions.

Each contribution matters – for people and planet

How to contribute to the Environment Fund?

Please view the Guidelines for Contributing to the Environment Fund in Arabic, English, French and Spanish. 

Each country is encouraged to contribute to the Environment Fund based on the level of their VISC (voluntary indicative scale of contributions). You are also welcome to contact us at: unep-environmentfund[at]un.org
