International CooperationPhoto of the world map

Cooperation between governments, intergovernmental organisations with the relevant mandates, and non-governmental actors needs to be enhanced to design policies that integrate economic, social and environmental objectives.

UNEP has built its collaboration with UNCTAD and the WTO on formal elements of cooperation established with these organizations in 1997 and 1999, respectively.

Experience has shown that the joint activities which flowed from these cooperative arrrangements has catalysed deeper and more reflective interactions between the different policy communities, and opened up new avenues of cooperation.

UNEP intends to intensify its collaboration with WTO and UNCTAD and with other relevant international organizations, as well as NGOs, in order to enhance synergies between legal frameworks and principles related to the trade and environment regimes.
