The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading environmental authority in the United Nations system. UNEP uses its expertise to strengthen environmental standards and practices while helping implement environmental obligations at the country, regional and global levels. UNEP’s mission is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations. UNEP’s Industry and Economy Division provides solutions for economic decision-makers and helps change the business environment by offering platforms for dialogue and cooperation, innovative policy options, pilot projects and creative market mechanisms. It works through three main branches: Chemicals and Health; Energy and Climate and Resources and Markets.

UNEP Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) coordinates the Programme of work in the region, acting as the link between the 12 countries it covers and UNEP’s various units, centers and divisions. ROWA collaborates with major groups, private sector, youth and other stakeholders to help bridge the science-policy gaps by keeping the state of the environment under review, identifying environmental threats at early stages, developing sound environmental policies, strategies, legislation and supporting member states in implementing these policies.
