The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs awarded a $8,000,000 Project Grant under the Environmental and Scientific Partnerships and Programs (CFDA 19.017) to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on January 15, 2025. The grant will support UNEP's efforts to address short-lived climate pollutants, including methane, which is the fastest way to limit near-term global warming. The project aims to deliver environmental expertise, policy guidance, and implementation support to governments and partners around the world in order to promote sustainable development and facilitate international cooperation on critical environmental challenges. Through this award, UNEP will leverage its global partnerships and technical capabilities to implement projects, provide training, convene stakeholders, and offer policy recommendations focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, advancing resource efficiency, and addressing issues such as plastic pollution.
