Non - UN Organizations (Environment) to consider in Europe

The Civil Society Unit at UN Environment is committed to partnering with Major Groups and Stakeholders in order to ensure transparency and inclusiveness in the intergovernmental decision-making process at UN Environment. It has been mandated to engage with accredited civil society organizations such as not-for-profit organizations, networks, and associations in contrast to single businesses or individuals, who bring to the table valuable research, and expertise and advocacy functions. These allies and partners to UN Environment provide long-term, broad-based and essential support for UN Environment’s mission and mandate.

Non-governmental organizations must successfully meet the requirements of the accreditation process before being granted observer status to the United Nations Environment Assembly, UN Environment and its subsidiary organs such as the Committee of Permanent Representatives.
