In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, conflicts, disease outbreaks, chronic underdevelopment and natural disasters combine to make one of the most complex humanitarian situations in the world. Following the most recent Integrated Phase Classification analysis, 19.6 million people are acutely food insecure in the country, making it the largest food crisis in the world. Disease outbreaks and epidemics such as COVID-19, cholera, measles, and the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) exacerbate the situation. Last year, as a result of the combined efforts of the Congolese government and humanitarian actors, two Ebola outbreaks were defeated, including the deadliest the country has known that killed more than 2,200 people. Humanitarian organizations in the DRC operate in an exceptionally complex and challenging environment. Despite these challenges, between January and September 2020, humanitarian partners delivered life-saving assistance and protection to close to 5.2 million people. Persisting underfunding remains the largest constraint to an efficient, effective, and timely humanitarian response in the DRC.

The project applies a programmatic approach to contribute to the achievement of the UNEP MTS Direct Outcome 3.2 “Global Plastic Pollution is reduced” by 2027, through systems and circular solutions adopted by governments, businesses, financial institutions, and individuals, with a long-term vision to end plastic pollution by 2040.
The project will tackle plastic pollution using a circular economy approach, where problematic or unnecessary plastic packaging, products and additives are removed in the upstream stage, and where products are kept at their highest value for as long as possible in the value chain. The project addresses the entire plastic life cycle at global, regional, national and subnational levels for tailored policies adapted to local contexts. It also triggers a systems change and, where needed, radical innovation and investment, especially in developing new business models and in changing product design to reduce plastic pollution at the source.
The project contains the following activities clustered under six outputs: 1) activities inspiring and supporting industry action 2) activities enabling national and local regulatory frameworks to support the global transition to a circular economy for plastics;3)activities providing baseline assessment and guidance on systemic actions; 4) activities supporting fiscal policies andfinance action; 5) activities activating behaviour change and social action; 6) knowledge, capacity, reporting activities.
The project builds upon UNEP’s key strengths as the global authority on environmental issues, including the hosting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) for an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution. The strong global momentum to act decisively on plastic pollution is also founded on UNEP’s long-standing action on plastic pollution, from informing decision-makers and the public about plastic pollution to rallying actors across the value chain (especially the private sector) to scale up solutions. This project will need to inform, and be informed by, the INC process as levelling the playing field will provide an additional incentive for actions across the life cycle. It will also work jointly with the governments, private sector, finance community, international agencies, regional and national initiatives, to deliver the changes needed to achieve the transformation.
The project delivers UNEP’s work on plastics pollution, and it draws expertise and executive capacity from the entire organization and is coordinated by the Industry and Economy Division, with deliverables by UNEP Divisions, the Regional Offices, and the Regional Seas. It also amplifies the impacts by bringing in all strategic partners under a shared common ambition.
fossil fuel industry is responsible for one-third of anthropogenic methane emissions and is the sector with the highest potential for fast reductions that could slow the rate of global warming as efforts continue to decarbonize the energy system through cleaner forms of energy. To date action by companies and governments on fossil fuel methane emissions has been limited and uncoordinated at the global level.
UNEP will establish an International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) that accelerates reductions in fossil fuel methane emissions globally. IMEO will be the nucleus of a multi-sector partnership, including companies, research institutions, governments, and civil society partners. Hosted within UNEP, IMEO will benefit from UNEP’s experience on methane, track record of collaborating with diverse partners on complex environmental issues, global reach, and institutional legitimacy.
IMEO will build upon the success and experience of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition’s Mineral Methane Initiative, which seeks to achieve ambitious methane emissions reductions of 45% by 2025 and 60-75% by 2030. Furthermore, it will contribute to Sustainable Development Goal #13 on Climate Action: Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies, and planning. Specifically, IMEO will increase the number of countries with Nationally Determined Contributions and Long-term Strategies under the Paris Agreement.
To achieve this objective, IMEO will aggregate and analyse multiple methane emissions data streams, including company reporting, national inventories reported to the Climate Change secretariat, direct measurements, and satellite observations, and reconcile inconsistencies between reported and observed emissions levels. By assisting industry and governments in addressing uncertainty related to reported emissions, IMEO will improve the consistency and credibility of methane emissions data and accelerate mitigation actions based on sound science.
Additionally, IMEO will commission new scientific measurement studies, provide feedback to companies on the quality of their data and the ambition of their targets, and engage governments on the findings from the data analysis. The Observatory will also be a platform for dialogue between industry, governments, research institutions, and civil society organizations conducting research on fossil fuel operations, and will engage with countries to implement methane mitigation projects by acting as a resource for capacity building, best practice sharing and emissions measurement support.
Textiles has grown to become one of the largest global industries and is an important employer in many countries, where in most cases, the majority of textile workers are women. It is, however, estimated to be responsible for between 2 and 8 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as significant pollution, water extraction and biodiversity impacts, including 215 trillion litres of water consumed per year, and 9 percent of annual microfibre pollution to oceans, as well as significant social impacts.
Generally, sustainability considerations in the production of textiles have gained traction, particularly for labor issues. However, the textile value chain is still far from closing loops and reducing its environmental impacts. With volume sales only expected to grow further, accelerated through ever increasing demand for fast fashion particularly, actions for a circular textile value chain, including new business models that allow companies in developing countries to remain competitive, are indispensable.
This project provides the framework for all of UNEP’s work in the textile sector under the MTS. The project directly contributes to all outcomes under UNEP’s Programme of Work Sub-programme on Chemicals and Pollution, while also linking to the nature action and climate action pillars. Due to its cross-cutting nature, the project contributes to various of the SDGs as well as the Paris Agreement. It draws expertise and executive capacity from the entire organization, with the overall project being coordinated by the Industry and Economy Division, its outputs being coordinated by Ecosystems, Law, Industry and Economy and Communication Divisions, and delivery driven jointly by UNEP Divisions and Regional Offices. It amplifies its impacts by bringing in strategic external partners under a shared common ambition.
This project aims to accelerate the transition towards a circular textile value chain, as defined in UNEP’s Textile Roadmap report.
Using a life cycle and value chain approach, the project will intervene at the global level to address the barriers related to limited industry ambition and accountability on circularity, and by providing data and tools to the key stakeholder groups needed to drive the transition. At regional and national level, the project will support implementation and changes in practices, both through pilots of new innovative approaches and scaling transformation through strategic interventions.
The project intervenes through delivering the following outputs:
1. Shifting industry norms towards sustainability through target setting, design for circularity, and phasing out most harmful practices
2. Development and implementation of policies, strategies, legislation and action plans for a circular textile value chain
3. Capacity building to shift investments to finance circular textile business models, technologies and infrastructure
4. Advocacy to shift textile consumption towards circularity, and thereby activate changes across the entire value chain

The ECDE Programme aims at enhancing inclusive and sustainable development gains from e-commerce and the digital economy for people and businesses in developing countries, particularly LDCs. It provides a unique platform for: · Generating findings from research and analysis to enable governments and other stakeholders to better understand the implications of economic digitalization for sustainable development. This includes the Digital Economy Report flagship publication, thematic studies, technical notes and statistics related to e-commerce and the digital economy. · Providing assistance to policymakers in developing countries to strengthen their capacities to adapt the policy environment to digital disruptions. This includes assistance with assessing the state-of-play of the e-commerce enabling environment and issuing recommendations for overcoming barriers and bottlenecks identified (eTrade Readiness Assessments), as well as assistance with formulating E-Commerce Strategies and Action Plans and supporting their implementation. Other technical assistance includes support related to e-commerce legal frameworks and statistics. · Fostering intergovernmental consensus and global multi-stakeholder dialogue for a more coordinated approach on e-commerce and the digital economy from a development perspective. This includes the work of the Intergovernmental Group of Experts (IGE) on E-commerce and the Digital Economy (fostering dialogue on the development dimension of e-commerce and the digital economy among UNCTAD member states) and the Working Group on Measuring E-commerce and the Digital Economy (addressing the lack of reliable statistical data in this area). Other activities include the eTrade for all initiative, which seeks to promote more collaborative efforts for the development of e-commerce, the organization of the UNCTAD eWeek and the collaboration with other parts of the UN (such as the Global Digital Compact and the World Summit on the Information Society), the G20, the BRICS and beyond. · The Programme also has a dedicated component that focuses on promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment in an increasingly digital economy and society by working directly with women digital entrepreneurs in developing countries to raise the profiles of successful women digital entrepreneurs through eTrade for Women, change stereotypes and bring their perspectives to the forefront of policymaking for more inclusive digital ecosystems.
Under the Strategic Partnership between UNCTAD and The Netherlands, the Division on Investment and Enterprise carries out several workstreams. The core of the programme is Business and Investment Facilitation, which entails the streamlining of administrative procedures for business and investors, in particular through digital government tools. The division implements Information portals and online single windows that make rules and regulations transparent and enable their simplification. This benefits especially micro, small and medium-sized businesses (supporting formalization), as well as international investors (through improved governance and regulatory stability). In addition to business and investment facilitation projects in several countries, the programme funded under the Strategic Partnership includes work on Investment Policy Reviews and International Investment Agreements , always with a view to strengthening the investment facilitation impact of policies, institutions and agreements.
The project aims to establish the evidence base needed to understand the current “state of play” regarding e-commerce in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and provide a baseline against which to monitor future developments and the impact of policy actions. It consists of two tracks – a “domestic” track focusing on Saudi businesses as key actors in the e-commerce landscape with a view to assessing the degree of uptake of e-commerce and the value of business transactions facilitated by e-commerce in the Kingdom, and an “international track” supporting the development of internationally agreed guidelines and recommendations on measuring e commerce value through the UNCTAD Task Group on Measuring E-commerce Value (TG eCOM). The international track also includes the development of training materials based on those guidelines and recommendations, as well as the delivery of two regional training workshops to support their implementation across countries. The international track offers an opportunity for KSA to make the priority given to e-commerce measurement visible on the international stage and to cement a position among the leaders in this area, building upon previous initiatives such as the “Roadmap toward a common framework for measuring the digital economy” developed under the 2020 Saudi Arabian Presidency of the G20.
