UNEP and the UN Foundation Partners for Sustainable Development
This booklet illustrates the areas where UN Foundation funds are supporting UNEP activities. UNEP has received UNFIP approval for projects in three main areas: • Information for decision making. • Biodiversity conservation. • Strategies for promoting clean and renewable energy technologies and mitigating climate change. Each area involves working closely with a variety of private sector and civil society partners, as well as with other United Nations agencies, and each has a bearing on the overarching issues of health, peace and security. UN Foundation support for projects where UNEP is the lead agency have grown considerably during the Foundation's life, as has the number of projects. By mid-2002, the UNEP-UN Foundation portfolio numbered twenty-two projects, with a further five awaiting funding. UN Foundation input to these projects now totals over $38 million, to which UNEP has leveraged over $41 million in counterpart and in-kind contributions. Many of these projects are in the relatively early stages of what is a long-term process.
