UNDP’s work in the field of energy, environment and sustainable development has
spanned many decades working hand in hand with its global and local partners.
At the national level, Country Offices are delivering policy-oriented solutions to
address energy, environmental and sustainable development issues based on country
demands and in consultation with a broad base of local stakeholders.
Country Offices act as system integrators by programming resources from multiple
external funds to mainstream environment into national policy frameworks. This
business model has been pioneered by UNDP through effective partnerships with
the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Montreal Protocol (MP).
Scaling-up action to enhance the contribution of environmental management
and access to energy services to poverty reduction, sustainable
growth and achievement of the MDGs, within the framework of country-led
MDG-based national development strategies is the overall goal of the
Energy and Environment Practice in the coming few years.
