dc.descriptionThis institutional policy document sets out the overall governance framework and administrative processes for all written materials bearing the United Nations Environment Programme logo that are intended for public use. Together with accompanying guidelines, this text replaces all previous guidance to govern the creation, dissemination, and management of official publications while ensuring a clear distinction from regular communication materials. The document outlines rigorous workflows from initial concept to final release, emphasizing strategic relevance, scientific credibility, consistency, and accessibility aligned with organizational priorities. It defines clear definitions, publication types, and the explicit responsibilities of management teams, review committees, publication units, focal points, and peer reviewers. Finally, it details mandatory procedures for copyright management, licensing agreements, quality control, open access, and gender mainstreaming.en
