Great news for the internal Environmental and Social Sustainability of the United Nations!

The UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination has endorsed the "UN Sustainability Strategy II" to mainstream sustainability considerations across all functions of the UN system and UN entities.

While the 2019 Sustainability Strategy I translated the vision into very precise commitments for greening the UN’s management functions, the new 2021 Sustainability Strategy II describes ten essential principles that should apply across the board, from the management of staff and facilities, to the implementation of programmes and to relationships with external partners and stakeholders.

I personally had the opportunity to work on it while interning at the UN Environment Management Group as well as contributing to its practical implementation while working at UNOPS.

Great job!
