The Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GMEF), which meets annually as part of the UNEP Governing Council’s regular and special sessions, has greatly enhanced UNEP’s capacity to identify and evolve consensus on current and emerging environmental challenges. The first GMEF, which met in May 2000 in Malmö, Sweden, issued the Malmö Declaration, bringing the major environmental challenges of the 21st century to the attention of the 55th session of the UN General Assembly. At the Millennium Summit, which marked the commencement of the 55th UN General Assembly, world leaders adopted the Millennium Declaration which includes a set of time-bound objectives, collectively known as the Millennium Development Goals, which include the goal of ensuring environmental sustainability. 5

The Executive Director provides environmental policy leadership within the world community and identifies emerging environmental issues of global significance for the attention of governments and other partners. The Executive Director provides management oversight and leadership to UNEP and directs the implementation of the UNEP programme of work, which is decided by the UNEP Governing Council. As well as overseeing the organization’s work, the Executive Director promotes close links with UNEP’s partners, including governments, UN bodies and international organizations, non-governmental organizations and private sector entities. The Office of the Executive Director coordinates an extensive schedule of appointments and visits with the purpose of raising global awareness about the importance of environment for development and the work of UNEP . The Executive Director’s spokesperson and the Division of Communications and Public Information (DCPI) implement a proactive media strategy in close collaboration with information officers stationed in UNEP’s six regional offices. The Executive Director is assisted in the performance of his or her functions by a Deputy Executive Director, who advises the Executive Director on substantive matters, and assists in strategic planning and the development of management tools and instruments to enhance UNEP’s performance in its overall mission. The Deputy Executive Director manages the Environment Programme, supervising all divisions and regional offices, and is directly responsible for the mechanisms for coordinating and monitoring the implementation of UNEP’s programme of work and the various activities earmarked for support by donors. The Deputy Executive Director also manages the project approval process and coordination of UNEP’s project portfolios with the UN Foundation and other private sector partners, as well as the UN Development Account. 7 Achim Steiner UNEP Executive Director
- 9. 8 FROM STOCKHOLM TO RIO, 1972-1992 UNEP was established after the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm, Sweden, proposed the creation of a global body to act as the environmental conscience of the UN system. In response, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2997 on 15 December, 1972 creating: • the UNEP Governing Council, composed of 58 nations elected for four-year terms by the UN General Assembly, responsible for assessing the state of the global environment, establishing UNEP's programme priorities, and approving the budget; • the UNEP Secretariat, with its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, to provide a focal point for environmental action and coordination within the UN system, headed by an Executive Director, with the rank of UN Under-Secretary-General; and • a voluntary Environment Fund to finance UNEP’s environmental initiatives, to be supplemented by trust funds and funds allocated by the UN regular budget. 3 A BRIEF HISTORY OF UNEP 8

In the subsequent two decades, a proliferation of environmental conferences endangered species, controlling the movement of hazardous wastes, and The most successful and well-known 9 The Stockholm Conference marked the formal acceptance by the international community that development and the environment are inextricably linked. and conventions addressed various environmental issues, including conserving reversing the depletion of the ozone layer. convention from this period was the 1987 Montreal Protocol of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, an example of international environmental cooperation whose inspiration reverberates to this day. © Chamaiporn Ponganich / UNEP
- 11. 10 In the same year that the Montreal Protocol was signed, the World Commission on Environment and Development published its report Our Common Future. It was in this report that the concept of sustainable development was clearly defined. Sustainable development, said the report, is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The report also went further than any before in linking environment and development. In the words of Gro Harlem Brundtland, the commission’s chairman: “Environment is where we all live; and development is what we all do in attempting to improve our lot within that abode. The two are inseparable.” a brief history of unep © B. Bhagat / UNEP 10
- 12. 11 In 1992, the UN Conference on Environment and Development—the Earth Summit—was convened in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, bringing together an unprecedented number of representatives from governments, civil society, and the private sector. The purpose of the Earth Summit was to examine progress made since Stockholm, and to “elaborate strategies and measures to halt and reverse the effects of environmental degradation in the context of strengthened national and international efforts to promote sustainable and environmentally sound development in all countries”. The Earth Summit generated a tangible sense of optimism that momentum was at last being created for global change. It gave birth to two major conventions—the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity—and saw the creation of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. The Rio Declaration reaffirmed the principles first elaborated in Stockholm twenty years earlier, while Agenda 21 gave the world an action programme for building sustainable development into the 21st century. With its groundbreaking synthesis of social, economic and environmental elements into a single policy framework, Agenda 21 gave new impetus and importance to the work of UNEP . © Long / UNEP © Paulo / UNEP 11
- 13. 12 THE MILLENNIUM VISION: 2000 AND BEYOND Throughout the 1990s, the principles of sustainable development were reaffirmed at numerous international conferences. The impetus of Agenda 21 was seen in the increased involvement of civil society in promoting sustainable development and in private sector initiatives to improve environmental performance, such as the Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative. However, the same period also saw a measurable increase in global temperatures and weather-related natural disasters. By the turn of the millennium, the human population had reached 6 billion, experts were warning of an impending water crisis, fisheries were collapsing, biodiversity declining, and global warming was widely accepted as a fact. In 1972, and again in 1992, the world’s governments had declared their commitment to the principles of sustainable development. As the new millennium approached, that commitment came under increasing scrutiny. In May 2000, UNEP convened the first Global Ministerial Environment Forum, in Malmö, Sweden. One of the Forum’s functions was to send a strong message to the UN General Assembly, which was due to revisit the sustainable development debate at the Millennium Summit in September 2000. a brief history of unep © Kok Ceng Lim / UNEP 12
- 14. 13 The Forum’s Malmö Declaration notes with “deep concern” that “the environment and the natural resource base that supports life on Earth continue to deteriorate at an alarming rate” and that “there is an alarming discrepancy between commitments and action” in relation to sustainable development. The UN Secretary-General’s report to the Millennium Summit was equally frank. “The challenges of sustainable development simply overwhelm the adequacy of our responses”, he wrote. “With some honourable exceptions, our responses are too few, too little and too late.” © Monica Alexandra Terranzas Galvan / UNEP © mikhail Khodab / UNEP 13
