Evaluation of the United Nations Environment Programme
Overview
The mandate of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) derives from General Assembly resolution 2997 (XXVII). The governing body of UNEP further clarified the mandate of UNEP in its decision 19/1, setting out the Nairobi Declaration on the Role and Mandate of the United Nations Environment Programme, which the Assembly subsequently endorsed in the annex to its resolution S-19/2 in 1997 and reaffirmed in its resolution 53/242 in 1999 and its resolutions 66/288 and 67/213 in 2012. As emphasized by the Assembly in its resolution 53/187, UNEP is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, that promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and that serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.
Headquartered in Nairobi, UNEP has six regional offices, five subregionaloffices and nine country offices and provides the secretariats for 15 multilateral environmental agreements
