This brochure introduces the joint UNDP—UNEP Poverty-Environment Action (2018-2022) project launched on 1 September 2018. Poverty-Environment Action builds on the experience and lessons learned of UNDP—UNEP Poverty-Environment Initiative (2005-2018) by deepening and broadening its scope and application, notably to the area of finance and through strengthened development partnerships.
This report covers progress on the implementation of UNDP–UNEP Poverty-Environment Action for Sustainable Development Goals through seven full-fledged country projects, as well as two technical assistance projects, underway in 2019. It gives an overview on the project’s performance using established baselines, indicators and targets at the global and country levels, and provides lessons learned during the first full year of implementation.
