UNEP’s Environmental Education and Training Unit (EETU) promotes attitudes and value systems that influence environmentally ethical behaviour by developing understanding, skills and values that will enable people to participate as active and informed citizens in the development of an ecologically sustainable and socially just society. It does this in close collaboration with all UNEP’s Divisions. The programmes, projects, initiatives and activities of EETU are organized around three pillars namely Education, Training and Networking with specific focus on Higher Education. This is accomplished through educating, training and creating awareness within universities and across governments, training centres, non-governmental organizations’ and the private sector.
