About the Energy
Branch:
The goal of UNEP’s Energy Branch is to bring
a longer term, environmental dimension into energy sector decisions.
UNEP’s activities help decision makers to improve their understanding
of the link between the energy choices they face and broader sustainable
development issues.
The Branch’s emphasis is on increasing the human capacity
to create opportunities for development while reducing the harmful
effects of energy production and use.
Working with a wide range of partners, UNEP helps countries develop
and use tools for analyzing energy policies and programmes, climate
change mitigation options, energy sector reforms, and the environmental
implications of transport choices. A special focus is put on helping
financial institutions improve their understanding of investment
opportunities in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors.
UNEP is,also, a member of UN
Energy, the coordinating mechanism on energy matters involving
UN agencies.
