UNEP Medium Term Strategy 2014-2017

This strategy document outlines a four-year framework designed to guide international environmental governance and transition towards a sustainable global economic model. The publication establishes a high-level roadmap for addressing climate change, disasters, and ecosystem management through integrated scientific assessments and policy interventions. By leveraging multi-stakeholder partnerships and national capacity building, the framework focuses on enhancing resource efficiency and reducing environmental risks across seven thematic priorities. The methodology relies on a results-based approach to monitor progress and ensure institutional accountability throughout the implementation period. Key findings emphasise the necessity of decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation while strengthening the science-policy interface. Ultimately, the scope encompasses providing leadership and encouraging partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring and informing nations and peoples.
