UN Environment Programme (UNEP) is the voice for the environment within the United Nations system. Established in 1972, UNEP acts as a catalyst, advocate, educator and facilitator to promote the wise use and sustainable development of the global environment. In response to increasing disaster risks, UNEP seeks to minimize threats to human well-being from environmental causes and consequences of disasters. UNEP’s Crisis Management Branch coordinates work on disaster risk reduction, and provides secretariat support to PEDRR.
