About UNEP-IEMP
The United Nations Environment Programme – International Ecosystem Management Partnership (UNEP-IEMP) is the first UN Environment Programme Collaborating Centre in the South and for the South. It is a joint venture between UN Environment Programme and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, supported by the Government of China.
EbA South
Ecosystem-based Adaptation through South-South Cooperation (EbA South) is a full-sized GEF project, funded through the Special Climate Change Fund. The project is considered a “first mover” in catalyzing global and regional collaboration on EbA under GEF guidelines, in particular within the framework of South-South cooperation.
UNEP-IEMP 10th Anniversary
It has been over 10 years since the inception of the UNEP-International Ecosystem Management Partnership (UNEP-IEMP) in Beijing back in 2011. The Center has become a global center since 2012 through the signing of the UNEP-Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) legal agreement. UNEP-IEMP has emerged as a pivotal player in the global network for environmental cooperation. It has been instrumental in promoting ecosystem management, exploring sustainable solutions, and facilitating transformative efforts in the Global South, with an emphasis on advancing South-South cooperation.

UNEP-IEMP Participated in "Lancang-Mekong River Basin Plastic Waste Management" Project Launch and Research Activities in Thailand
24 December 2024
From December 12th to 17th, 2024, members of UNEP-IEMP participated in the launch meeting of the National Natural Science Foundation International (Regional) Cooperation and Exchange (NSFC-UNEP) Project "Land-Sea Migration Patterns of Plastic Waste in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin and Strategies for Pollution Reduction and Carbon Emission Reduction" in Bangkok, Thailand. They also joined a five-day research activity. On December 13th, the project launch meeting was successfully held in Bangkok, gathering experts and scholars from China and other countries to discuss the migration patterns of plastic waste in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin, pollution control, and effective ways to reduce pollution and carbon emissions. It also further discussed future research directions and cooperation models. As part of the project team, UNEP-IEMP also further investigated the situation in the Thai society and enterprises through field research on plastic waste management. From December 14th to 16th, the team visited demonstration bases for plastic waste management in Thailand to gain a detailed understanding of the collection, processing, and recycling processes of plastic waste. In addition, the team engaged in in-depth discussions with the Thai Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment on international cooperation and policy support for plastic waste management. This research activity not only deepened the UNEP-IEMP members' understanding of the plastic waste issues in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin but also laid a solid foundation for the smooth progress of the project and international cooperation. UNEP-IEMP would actively draw on Thailand's advanced experience in plastic waste management, combine it with the situation in China, and promote substantial progress in plastic waste management in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin. As the project further progresses, UNEP-IEMP will continue to strengthen cooperation with the countries in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin to jointly address the environmental challenges posed by plastic waste and contribute to regional green development. Team visited the Thai Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment In addition, UNEP-IEMP also met with research team of the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC), National Science and Technology Development Agency of Thailand. Both parties discussed and exchanged views on the development and sustainability assessment of the bamboo industry in Thailand and China, the potential opportunities of using bamboo as a substitute for plastic and future cooperation.
