Environment and Energy
The objective of the Environment and Energy Practice (EEP) for Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States is to help countries manage the environment in a sustainable manner while ensuring adequate protection for the poor. The EEP aims to provide governments with a full set of services to assist them in achieving the Millennium Development Goals, in particular MDG 1 (reducing poverty and hunger), and MDG 7 (ensuring environmental sustainability),and meeting states’ obligations under multilateral environmental agreements.
The Practice helps countries in the region to: (i) integrate environmental issues into development planning; (ii) promote market development for environmentally friendly technologies; and (iii) adapt to the consequences of climate change.
The EEP consists of a team of environmental experts in Bratislava, Slovakia who assist 24 UNDP country offices by providing advisory services in land, water and chemical resource management, biodiversity, the ozone layer, climate change and improved access to energy. The EEP handles a project portfolio totaling $589 million, of which $172 million is from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), $10 million from UNDP, and the rest from other donors.

Sustainable development and poverty reduction cannot happen unless the needs of our natural resource base are taken into account. National development plans must reflect environmental concerns; otherwise they will compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
