UNEP

        Programme

UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME
The defining challenge of our age

•   UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UNEP Executive
    Director Achim Steiner agree:
           .

      Climate change is “the defining challenge of our generation”.

•   It is no longer relevant to discuss whether or not our climate is
    changing, but rather, how fast changes will occur.
The defining challenge of our age

•   UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner states:
      We are all part of the solution;
      Many solutions already exist;
         .
      Many solutions provide answers to other challenges.


•   Costs to limit emissions will be significant, but lower compared to
    the costs of no action.


•   TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
COP15 – Copenhagen December 2009

• UNEP’s strategy and climate change programme in no way
prejudges the current climate negotiations.
        .

• UNEP will adapt its programme 2010–11 to reflect any future
climate agreement.

  • 2. The defining challenge of our age • UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner agree: .  Climate change is “the defining challenge of our generation”. • It is no longer relevant to discuss whether or not our climate is changing, but rather, how fast changes will occur.
  • 3. The defining challenge of our age • UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner states:  We are all part of the solution;  Many solutions already exist; .  Many solutions provide answers to other challenges. • Costs to limit emissions will be significant, but lower compared to the costs of no action. • TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
  • 4. COP15 – Copenhagen December 2009 • UNEP’s strategy and climate change programme in no way prejudges the current climate negotiations. . • UNEP will adapt its programme 2010–11 to reflect any future climate agreement.
  • 5. UNEP’s long-term commitment to climate change ● UNEP:  Has more than 20 years of experience working on climate change; .  Established the International Panel on Climate Change with the World Meteorological Organization in the 1980s;  Concentrates efforts of reducing emissions in various ways;  Works across numerous areas to combat climate change;  Supports governments, the private sector, and civil society.
  • 6. Partnership • UNEP complements its climate change activities by cooperating and expanding existing agreements with other UN agencies addressing climate change internationally, or seeking to do so. • Examples of such cooperation include:  UNFCCC Secretariat  UNDP  UNICEF  FAO-UNDP-UNEP  IPCC Secretariat  GEF  The World Bank
