UNEP is working with the governments of Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Colombia and Guyana to strengthen the capacities of national institutions for coherent and integrated implementation and monitoring of the environmental dimensions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This project is being implemented since 2018 and will be concluded in 2021. The project “Towards coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of the Sustainable Development Goals” is funded by the United Nations Development Account (UNDA project 1819Q).
The project led to enhanced understanding of environmental data for measuring progress towards the SDGs and improved policy coherence for sustainable development. UNEP’s national level intervention demonstrates its comparative advantage in institutional support and linking science to policy with regards to SDGs. The project also assisted governments in Covid-19 recovery responses related to health and environment.
The project was implemented by UNEPs Africa Office, Asia and the Pacific Office, Latin America and the Caribbean Office, the Law Division and the Science Division. The results and lessons learned will be compiled in four case studies which will be published soon and shared with other countries and entities.
