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 the “Thailand – China Symposium on Innovation and Sustainability: Technology and Innovation Transfer on Bamboo Processing and Its Applications”
24 June 2025
On June 18th, 2025, the "Thailand – China Symposium on Innovation and Sustainability: Technology and Innovation Transfer on Bamboo Processing and Its Applications" was organized as part of the "Thailand Research Expo 2025" in Bangkok, Thailand. The event was co-hosted by the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC), the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), the Program Management Unit on Area Based Development (PMU A), and the Office of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI). To mark 50 years of diplomatic relations between Thailand and China, the event brought together leading experts, local partners (such as provincial farmers' councils and universities), and also entrepreneurs from Thailand and China to share insights on building an effective technological ecosystem to enhance bamboo economies and to provide a platform for networking and potential future collaboration between the two countries. The highlight of the event was the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between MTEC and Nanjing Forestry University (NJFU) to collaborate on R&D and technology transfer related to environmentally friendly bamboo-based construction materials. Group photo of the organizing team Ms TatiroseVijitpan, the Focal Point of Greater Mekong Sub-region Portfolio at UNEP-IEMP, served as a panelist in the discussion session titled: "Building a Technological Ecosystem to Unlock Collective Potential for Community Prosperity". Drawing on UNEP-IEMP’s past and ongoing projects to facilitate cooperation on bamboo utilization between China and other countries, she highlighted the importance of taking a holistic view of the bamboo value chain to benefit local stakeholders, protect the environment and enhance sustainable bamboo industry. She also emphasized the significance of raising awareness and building capacity for local farmers and entrepreneurs in adapting the technology, as well as the essential role of government in creating enabling environments for bamboo utilization. As UNEP-IEMP played a catalytic role in this Thailand-China bamboo cooperation, she expressed great pleasure in witnessing the growth of this partnership and appreciated the opportunity to be part of this journey.
