UNEP, including the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) it administers, and the European Commission have worked together since UNEP’s creation in 1972 and further strengthened their relationship through the agreement of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2004. The MoU was renewed in 2014 and in 2021 to include a new Annex with common areas of interest in view of the global environmental agenda and the new European Union (EU) policy context for the period 2021-2025. Guided by the shared policy priorities defined in the MoU, the cooperation between UNEP and the European Commission has evolved over the years into a solid partnership, promoting the ambitions agreed at the United Nations Environmental Assembly and delivering more than a large variety of projects.
