Today we are facing significant environmental threats and the way we are handling theses issues will determine the future of humankind: - Either we keep on with our unsustainable lifestyles and behaviors, damaging irreparably the natural resources upon which our survival depends - Or we can take advantage or the extraordinary opportunities offered to use to adopt more sustainable way of living.

Since 1972, the United Nations Environment Programme has worked with governments, NGOs, the private sector, Medias and the civil society to support them in engaging in a more intelligent use of our planet’s natural assets to ensure sustainable development.
