United Nations Environment
Programme Finance Initiative
(UNEP FI)
UNEP Finance Initiative is a global public-private partner-
ship between UNEP and the private financial sector. UNEP
FI works closely with 230 financial institutions to develop
and promote linkages between the environment, sustain-
ability and financial performance: sustainable finance.
Through regional taskforces (Africa, Latin America, North
America, Asia, Central and Eastern European), working
groups (asset management, climate change, environmen-
tal management and reporting), training programmes and
research, UNEP FI aims to address the opportunities and
needs that sustainable development can provide to the
financial sector and subsequently to the larger stakeholder
community.
