This evaluation assessed the Sub-Programme on Environmental Governance (SPEG) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) over the period 2014-2021. The evaluation contributes to accountability and learning objectives to inform future planning and programming.
The SPEG is one of seven UNEP sub-programmes. The SPEG has consistently targeted three areas over the evaluation period| i) a normative approach focused on preparing and developing laws and standards| ii) supporting and striving for coherence of global environmental governance with Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs)| the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nations system; and iii) supporting active environmental governance capacity building within UNEP| more broadly within the UN system and also across Member States. In UNEP’s latest strategies| the SPEG is recognized as a foundational sub-programme that is an important contributor to activities and results of other sub-programmes and that aims to support the thematic sub-programmes.
