Greening the Blue Report. The UN System’s Environmental Footprint and Efforts to Reduce It

In 2007, the United Nations (UN) System embarked on a journey to integrate environmental sustainability in its facilities and operations. Since then, the United Nations Environment Programme annually collects and analyses information provided by UN System entities on their environmental impacts and publishes this data in the “Greening the Blue Report: The UN system’s environmental footprint and efforts to reduce it.” The report is composed of two elements: a brochure and entity-specific webpages. This brochure focuses on the UN System data as a whole; whereas, on www.greeningtheblue.org each contributing entity provides information about its environmental impacts and reduction measures taken in the course of the reporting year
