Considering the rapid deterioration of world environment, Friends of the Earth International is calling for the transformation of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) into a UN Environment Organisation which would have the same membership and funding basis as other UN specialised agencies.

Several governments have already expressed their support for this reform.

This organisation would provide effective financial, technical and political support, for the coherent and coordinated improvement and implementation of existing environmental agreements.
