AI overview

I don't have specific context provided about the United Nations Environment Programme to work from. You've indicated I should base the overview only on context, but the context given is just "United Nations organisation" — which is too general to provide accurate details specifically about the Environment Programme. Could you provide more detailed context about the UNEP so I can write an accurate 2-sentence overview?

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is responsible for coordinating responses to environmental issues within the United Nations System. Its mandate is to provide leadership, deliver science and develop solutions on a wide range of issues, including climate change, the management of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and green economic development. The organization also develops international environmental agreements; publishes and promotes environmental science and helps national governments achieve environmental targets.

As a member of the United Nations Development Group, UNEP aims to help the world meet the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. UNEP hosts the secretariats of several multilateral environmental agreements and research bodies, including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Minamata Convention on Mercury, the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions, the Convention on Migratory Species and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), among others.
