Greening the Blue Report 2020: The UN System's Environmental Footprint and Efforts to Reduce it

The report is composed of two elements: a brochure and entity-specific webpages. This brochure focuses on the UN System data as a whole; whereas, on www.greeningtheblue.org each contributing entity provides information about its environmental impacts and reduction measures taken in the course of the reporting year. The Greening the Blue Report 2020 covers emissions for 2019; therefore, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel and facilities’ emissions are not yet visible in the reported data and will not be until 2021. The report focuses on the environmental impacts of over 310,000 personnel in Headquarters, field offices and operations on the ground. Data was provided by close to 60 UN System entities and one new member of the growing Greening the Blue community: The Green Climate Fund.
