The report concludes that the UN must establish itself as a pioneer in working towards establishing a green economy and doing all it can to move the world towards sustainable energy.
Rio+20 will be a vital step in encouraging the world to embrace a better environment, society and economy.
The UN Climate Neutral Strategy was approved by the UN Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) in October 2007. The first UN greenhouse gas inventory, ‘Moving towards a Climate Neutral UN’, was published in December 2009.
The work of implementing the UN Climate Neutral Strategy is coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme. Data is collected by the Issue Management Group (IMG) on Environmental Sustainability Management which includes representatives from most UN organizations. The IMG reports to the UN Environment Management Group (EMG) and is supported by the Sustainable United Nations facility. The inventory for 2010 emissions includes data for 54 UN organizations.
