The past, present, and possible future of the agency designed to
act as the world's environmental conscience. The United Nations
Environmental Programme (UNEP) was founded in 1972 as a nimble,
fast, and flexible entity at the core of the UN system--a
subsidiary body rather than a specialized agency. It was intended
to be the world's environmental conscience, an anchor institution
that established norms and researched policy, leaving it to other
organizations to carry out its recommendations. In this book, Maria
Ivanova offers a detailed account of UNEP's origin and history.
Ivanova counters the common criticism that UNEP was deficient by
design, arguing that UNEP has in fact delivered on much (though not
all) of its mandate.
