UNEP

UNEP is an intergovernmental organization based in Washington DC, District of Columbia. Established in 1972, it leads global efforts to address environmental challenges, focusing on climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. UNEP collaborates with governments, civil society, and the private sector to develop international environmental agreements, provide scientific research, and support nations in achieving sustainability goals. Notable achievements include the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which limited emissions harmful to the ozone layer, and the 2017 Minamata Convention, a treaty to control toxic mercury. The assets are managed by the executive team.
