Roadmap to UNEA 3

UN Environment is the custodian UN agency for 26 of the Sustainable Development Goal Indicators . The Science Division is responsible for methodological development of new indicators and co-ordinating the compilation and reporting of indicators for the Global Sustainable Development Goal Report. This seminar will provide an overview of current work and activities and plans for the upcoming meetings of the UN, including UNEA 3.

Sound environmental

knowledge

Robust statistics and indicators

Effective governance

Integrated policies and

actions

“Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women's empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.” Ban Ki-moon

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals requires integration across science, policy and governance; monitoring and reporting; and public engagement

Fully integrated and complex Focus on fundamental drivers of change Managing trade-offs and synergies

UN Environment Our Role

• Results Based Management - embedding the outcomes of the Sustainable Development Goals into all our activities

• Turning ideas into action – working with partners in UN agencies, countries, civil society and private sector and by providing inputs to the UN Economic and Social Council and the High Level Political Forum on the Sustainable Development Goals

• Reporting on progress - ensuring high quality data, indicators and inputs under the auspices of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on the Sustainable Development Goal Indicators and the UN Secretary General’s Annual Report

UNEA Resolution 2/5 Delivering on the Environmental Dimension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

UN Environment Action Agenda • Turning ideas into action working across Science, Policy,

Governance with governments, civil society, UN agencies, international organisations, and in co-operation with the private sector to enhance innovation, provide solutions & campaign

UN Environment Making the numbers count

• Results Based Management planning our activities and

funding through the lens of Gender, Context and Spatial Disaggregation and the Sustainable Development Goals and indicators to show our contribution to national and global progress

UN Environment Meeting the needs of society

• Reporting on progress contributing to political and

public decisions by reporting on progress towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals through Global Environment Outlooks and other assessments
