In 2022, the devastating impacts of the triple planetary crisis were compounded by widening inequality, conflict and rising food and energy prices. Yet, it was also a year of renewed vigour on environmental action.

But much work lies ahead to slow the planetary emergency. As the leading global environmental authority, UNEP is steadfast in working with Member States and partners to deliver sustainable solutions for people and the planet. See how in this year’s annual report.
