UNEP works to promote resource efficiency and
sustainable consumption and production (SCP) in both developed and developing
countries. The focus is on achieving increased understanding and implementation
by public and private decision makers, as well as civil society, of policies
and actions for resource efficiency and sustainable consumption and production.
This includes the promotion of sustainable resource management in a life cycle
perspective for goods and services.
UNEP recognizes the
growing need to address global environmental concerns from an urban perspective
and to integrate the urban dimension of global environmental issues. More
specifically, UNEP aims to promote the link between international cooperation
and local action.
In order to respond to the needs of an
increasingly urbanizing world, UNEP supports cities in emphasizing
interventions that have both local and global benefits. Areas of focus include,
among others, buildings and infrastructure, transport, air pollution, waste and
water management, biodiversity and ecosystems.
