UNEP Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (DTIE)
UNEP DTIE was created in 1998 as part of the re-organization
of UNEP. It brought together four existing UNEP offices
(International Environmental Technology Centre, Industry
and Environment Programme Activity Centre, UNEP Chemicals,
and Economics, Trade and Environment Unit) in an attempt
to provide integrated responses to industrial and urban
issues.
The role of UNEP DTIE is to:
promote the development of policies, economic instruments,
management practices and tools that ensure an environmentally
sound approach to activities
develop partnerships with the private sector and corresponding
outreach activities
promote the use and transfer of cleaner, safer and environmentally
sound technologies
assist in the preparation of international agreements
and guidelines such as the Convention on Persistent Organic
Pollutants (POPs)
work in close cooperation with UNEP's six Regional Offices
to disseminate information and implement activities in
the regions as well as collect information regarding the
relevant needs of the countries
