The Law Division leads the development and implementation of the UN Environment’s Environmental Governance sub-programme, which includes the promotion of streamlined and coherent environmental governance at the international level, the promotion of progressive development and implementation of environmental law, support to international environmental agreements (known as Multilateral
Environmental Agreements – MEAs), and promotion of mainstreaming of environmental objectives in the development sector.
