A new initiative proposed at the Stockholm+50 international meeting, which ran from 3 to 5 June, aims to help developing countries tackle environmental challenges through facilitated access to and support for digital and technological solutions.
The concept for the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP’s) “Data Driven Environmental Solutions Hub” was outlined as part of the Multi-stakeholder Action Hub.
With the aim of being integrated with UNEP’s World Environment Situation Room, the initiative has the potential to be a lasting legacy of UNEP@50 and Stockholm+50.
The Solutions Hub would provide evidence-based data and analytics to aid decision making. It would also facilitate access to both digital technologies for sustainability and new and successful technologies. These tools, combined with capacity support, aim to help developing countries more easily achieve their goals.
