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 Conducts Training on African Agricultural Policy Document Collection and Analysis
15 April 2026
During 5-8 April 2026, the UNEP-IEMP team, in collaboration with China Agriculture University and Renmin University of China, conducted a training workshop on agricultural policy document collection and text mining analysis in African countries in Sanya, China. This training is part of the NSFC-UNEP collaborative project titled "Mechanisms for the Collaborative Management of Food Security and Sustainable Food System Development between China and Africa". Its primary objectives are to enhance the research capacity of African scholars in conducting regional agricultural policy analysis, to provide technical support for the development of a cross-national agricultural policy database, and to facilitate South-South knowledge sharing. More than 30 early-career researchers and international students, from Malawi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt, Zimbabwe, and Trinidad and Tobago, participated in the training. The venue for the training UNEP-IEMP intends to continue collaboration with the African researchers and further engage them in subsequent text mining analysis using machine learning methods. This ongoing partnership aims to provide empirical evidence and decision-making references to support African countries in formulating more science-based agricultural policies.
