Collaborate with UNEP-WCMC
Demand is growing for environmental information to be quickly and
easily delivered via the Internet. UNEP-WCMC aims to improve the
exchange of information on a global scale by working in partnership
with other international organisations.
Current Collaborative Partnerships
The benefits of working with UNEP-WCMC are:
- Broader awareness of and access to integrated environmental
information
- Information products, tailored to user-specific needs, to reach
a growing audience of people, raising the profile and work of
your organisation
- Access to a wider profile of clients than might be possible
operating alone
- Economies of scale allow UNEP-WCMC to make available web-based
and other industrial strength technologies and facilities, such
as high-speed Internet connections, to deliver a high-quality
and easy-to-use service.
- Improved access to datasets using Internet-based technologies
such as the Internet Map Server (IMS) allow you to obtain global
and regional datasets and understand better the context of the
data contributed by you and other data suppliers
- Access to a variety of sources to maintain, add to and help
validate and extend your datasets, given approval
- Development and provision of more detailed or specialist information
to enhance and extend the quality and integrity of the global
and regional datasets available
- Possibility of making information available to the developing
world in support of international conventions and organisations.
UNEP-WCMC's Information Services Division employs the latest technologies
to provide accurate, high-quality data and information. Data for
information products comes from a range of sources: governmental,
intergovernmental and NGO networks; published sources, expert advice
and our own research. Our policy has been to work closely with,
and to acknowledge the contributions of, data networks and suppliers
in the development of new information products.
