Update on UNEP events and workforce

As a member of the United Nations family, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is taking action in light of the Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. Managers and staff, the bulk of whom are telecommuting, are working with all necessary partners to ensure the continuity of UNEP work.

In line with public health advice and travel restrictions, some events have been cancelled or postponed. Discussions are also underway to move some events online.

When possible, the events section of the UNEP website is being updated.
