UNEP- World Conservation Monitoring Centre
The UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) is a centre of excellence in biodiversity knowledge. The Centre operates as a collaboration between the UN Environment Programme and the UK registered charity WCMC. Together, we are confronting the global crisis facing nature.
UNEP-WCMC works with scientists and policymakers worldwide to place biodiversity at the heart of environment and development decision-making to enable enlightened choices for people and planet.
As part of our Healthy Ocean Strategy, UNEP-WCMC supports the delivery of ocean-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by improving the accessibility and usability of biodiversity-related data, developing decision support tools and providing evidence-based advice. We also develop workable approaches to integrate social and economic considerations to deliver a healthy ocean for healthy people.
