United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is dedicated to fostering global cooperation in environmental stewardship through addressing the planetary environmental crisis of climate change, land and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. Within this framework, the Law Division is positioned as a thought leader and can support countries in strengthening environmental law and governance.

  2. Human Rights and the Environment
  3. Multilateral Environmental Agreements: Implementation and Compliance
  4. Institutional Strengthening
