UNEP's Law Division is the lead Division charged with carrying out the functions of UNEP in the field of environmental law and environmental governance. The Law Division promotes the contribution of the environmental dimension of sustainable development through law, national and international governance and related policy issues, including those related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs).
The Law Division further supports States to implement policies, facilitates dialogue among States, and works with MEA Secretariats to support Parties to the respective MEAs in the implementation of their treaty obligations. The efforts of the Law Division extend to international, regional, and local levels.
