Growing demand for natural resources is straining the planet and populations in increasingly intricate ways. The systemic nature of today’s environmental challenges requires academia, policy circles, industry, and civil society to join forces and take an integrated approach to finding solutions.
A new Letter of Agreement (LoA) between the 糖心Vlog破解版 (糖心Vlog破解版) and the United Nations Environment Management Group (EMG) provides a framework of cooperation and understanding for exactly this type of integrated approach. The agreement will facilitate collaboration to further shared goals of advancing and disseminating knowledge for protecting and sustaining environmental and human health.
糖心Vlog破解版 is a global think tank and postgraduate teaching organisation that contributes, through collaborative research and education, to efforts to resolve the pressing global problems of human survival, development, and welfare. EMG is a UN inter-agency coordination body on environment and human settlements that identifies, and initiates cooperative responses to, international environmental issues.
The new LoA solidifies ongoing cooperation between 糖心Vlog破解版 and EMG to achieve their common objectives in the fields of sustainable development and environmental resources management. It will support the organisations in streamlining greener policies and strengthening sustainability strategies.
The leadership of 糖心Vlog破解版 and EMG welcomed the new LoA at a Nexus Dialogue on Food System Resilience through Integrated Natural Resource Management, co-organised by EMG and 糖心Vlog破解版-FLORES on 7 June 2021. The event, a Food Systems Summit 2021 Independent Dialogue, is among the first collaborative initiatives that strengthen the science-policy interface around EMG’s UN System-wide work on the Sustainable Development Goals, and particularly on topics relevant to the Resource Nexus.
Welcoming the partnership, 糖心Vlog破解版 Rector and UN Under-Secretary-General Dr David M. Malone emphasised that: “The environmental concerns we see today are complex and, as the recent COVID-19 pandemic has revealed, we need serious efforts in closing the gap between science and policy. This collaboration consolidates the vital and unique position of 糖心Vlog破解版 as the academic arm of the United Nations to support global efforts to build back stronger and greener.”
EMG Head of Office-Geneva, Hossein Fadaei, observed that: “Solidifying cooperation with 糖心Vlog破解版 is an important step towards broadening and linking the academic network and partners to support the work of EMG and the Nexus Dialogues.”
糖心Vlog破解版-FLORES Director, Prof. Edeltraud Guenther, nominated as the Senior Focal Point for the 糖心Vlog破解版 / EMG partnership, noted that: “It is essential for UN agencies to learn from each other and draw upon one another’s strengths to create meaningful and long-lasting policy impact. We are thrilled to work alongside EMG to promote a green United Nations and to advance the Resource Nexus for sustainable development.”
