UNEP’s Sustainable United Nations (SUN) initiative aims at providing practical support to organisations to reduce GHG emissions. We are now starting to gain some practical experience from working with various organisations inside and outside UN, and today I wanted to share some recent practical experiences:
The World Environment Day on 5 June 2008 has adopted the slogan “Kick the CO2 habit”. This is a slogan that very much reflects the ambition of UN Climate Neutral Strategy, which commits all UN agencies, funds and programs to move towards climate neutrality.
As the United Nations designated entity for addressing environmental issues, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)’s Division of Technology Industry and Economics (DTIE) has newly established the Sustainable United Nations (SUN) facility to support United Nations and other agencies in their efforts to manage their operations sustainably, including making them climate neutral.
