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.

Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) delegation visited UNEP-IEMP for potential collaboration
04 March 2026
3 March 2026, Beijing – A delegation from the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), led by Dr Nathan Borgford-Parnell, CCAC Science Affairs Lead, visited UNEP-IEMP to introduce the Coalition's current science assessment work and explore opportunities to expand collaboration. Dr Borgford-Parnell introduced the CCAC, established in 2012 with its Secretariat hosted by UNEP. The Coalition tackles both climate change and air pollution challenges by focusing on short-lived climate pollutants to deliver near-term climate benefits, improve human health, and advance sustainable development. He also highlighted ongoing global assessments, including the Global Economic Assessment of Climate and Clean Air, scheduled for launch in the coming year. Prof. Zhang Linxiu, UNEP-IEMP Director, shared her early work on nitrogen fertilizer and air pollution from agrifood systems. She further recommended relevant experts and institutions from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that could contribute significantly to the CCAC assessments. Lively exchanges followed on the CCAC's work and potential areas of collaboration, and UNEP-IEMP expressed strong interest in pursuing the partnership.
