UNEP - The United Nations Environment Programme is a secretariat within the United Nations which has been charged with the responsibility of working with governments to promote environmentally sound forms of development, and to coordinate global action for development without destruction of the environment.
UNEP has as its mission "to promote leadership and encourage partnerships in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and people to improve their qualify of life without compromising that of future generations".
