ONE UNEP Plastic Project on Accelerating a Global Circular Plastic Economy to Reduce Plastic Pollution and its Impacts The project applies a programmatic approach to contribute to the achievement of the UNEP MTS Direct Outcome 3.2 “Global Plastic Pollution is reduced” by 2027, through systems and circular solutions adopted by governments, businesses, financial institutions, and individuals, with a long-term vision to end plastic pollution by 2040.

The project will tackle plastic pollution using a circular economy approach, where problematic or unnecessary plastic packaging, products and additives are removed in the upstream stage, and where products are kept at their highest value for as long as possible in the value chain. The project addresses the entire plastic life cycle at global, regional, national and subnational levels for tailored policies adapted to local contexts. It also triggers a systems change and, where needed, radical innovation and investment, especially in developing new business models and in changing product design to reduce plastic pollution at the source.

The project contains the following activities clustered under six outputs: 1) activities inspiring and supporting industry action 2) activities enabling national and local regulatory frameworks to support the global transition to a circular economy for plastics;3)activities providing baseline assessment and guidance on systemic actions; 4) activities supporting fiscal policies andfinance action; 5) activities activating behaviour change and social action; 6) knowledge, capacity, reporting activities.

The project builds upon UNEP’s key strengths as the global authority on environmental issues, including the hosting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) for an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution. The strong global momentum to act decisively on plastic pollution is also founded on UNEP’s long-standing action on plastic pollution, from informing decision-makers and the public about plastic pollution to rallying actors across the value chain (especially the private sector) to scale up solutions. This project will need to inform, and be informed by, the INC process as levelling the playing field will provide an additional incentive for actions across the life cycle. It will also work jointly with the governments, private sector, finance community, international agencies, regional and national initiatives, to deliver the changes needed to achieve the transformation.

The project delivers UNEP’s work on plastics pollution, and it draws expertise and executive capacity from the entire organization and is coordinated by the Industry and Economy Division, with deliverables by UNEP Divisions, the Regional Offices, and the Regional Seas. It also amplifies the impacts by bringing in all strategic partners under a shared common ambition.
Driving Public and Private Capital Towards Green and Social Investments in Indonesia / Accelerating SDGs Investments in Indonesia This UNEP project is a component of a broader joint UN project funded by the UN Joint SDG Fund (9,580,500 USD of which the UNEP allocation is 1,540,800 USD). Due to differences between the administrative systems of UNEP and the UN SDG Fund, a parallel UNEP project that duplicates UNEP's components within the broader Joint Project was prepared.

The joint project (JP) brings UNDP, UNEP, UNICEF, and UNIDO together to support the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to meet its SDG targets by (1) taking proven and new financing instruments to scale through the provision of pre- and post-transactions technical assistance for three financing instruments:
thematic bonds, blended finance instrument, and SDG-linked loans, and (2) providing capacity building to
relevant stakeholders (e.g. GoI, Local Governments (LGs), Financial Institutions, Small and Medium-sized
Enterprises or SMEs) to improve institutional capacities to access and utilize finance towards the
achievement of the SDGs. The interventions will build on and take to scale successful UN programmes
taking into account the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. This will result in a reduction in the financing gap and
accelerating Indonesia’s SDGs achievement through increased financing from innovative financing
mechanisms and instruments from both government and non-government sources (e.g., public, private,
and Islamic capital). The JP has the potential to assist the GoI and other key stakeholders to mobilise up
to United States Dollars (USD) 4.55 billion (bn) to achieve the identified programmatic outcomes during
the period of 2021 – 2024. The impact of the JP project is spread across a number of SDGs; however, the
JP will prioritize and monitor six SDGs goals: 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, and 17.
Generation Restoration: Catalyzing a nature-based transformation in Finance, Jobs, and Cities This project outlines a package of activities over three years (2023-2025) to inform, inspire and enable policymakers, practitioners, businesses, and finance institutions to promote ecosystem restoration as part of a broader effort to put nature-based solutions at the heart of the social and economic paradigm under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. It will do this by focusing on restoration opportunities in finance, job markets and cities, highlighting the benefits that investing in restoration can bring in terms of job creation. 

The project involves two components. The first is on jobs and finance and will track investment and jobs in nature-based solutions (NbS) as well as encourage business innovation and job creation in sectors that can be considered NbS. The second component will increase the engagement of city stakeholders, including vulnerable groups (women, children, and the poor), in restoring urban and peri-urban ecosystems. The project will contribute to, and be sustained by, the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. 

This is, itself, a multipronged, self-sustained effort to ensure system change for ecosystem restoration around the world and across sectors. It is also a major institutional priority for UNEP’s global and regional work, and so the projects results will inform UNEP’s wider work with a view to facilitating their replication.

UNEP-wide project on Improving Air Quality UNEP’s new Medium-Term Strategy (MTS) 2022 - 2025 sets an ambitious air quality target: “By 2025, 30 per cent of the 
world’s population live in areas where WHO Air Quality Interim Target 3 for outdoor PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) is 
attained”. Currently, only 19% of the global population lives in areas where concentrations of PM2.5 pollution is below 
15 micrograms per cubic meter, and thus locations where an additional 11% of the world population reside must 
improve the air quality significantly in coming years, if the MTS target is to be met.
The “UNEP-wide project on Improving Air Quality” is the primary UNEP response to the global air pollution crisis. It will 
mobilize UNEP’s and its key partners’ collective capacity to reduce air pollution from major sources in high impact 
sectors, and to strengthen air quality monitoring and management capacities of key stakeholders.
The “Improving Air Quality” project contributes mainly to Outcome 3C of the Chemicals and Pollution Action 
Subprogramme, “Releases of pollutants to air, water, soil and the ocean are reduced”, and delivers on Direct Outcome 
3.4 “Air pollution action, sustainable mobility and clean energy are supported”. It builds on UNEP’s and CCAC’s 
accomplishments, including lessons learned, gaps and challenges experienced during the implementation of project 
533.1 “Providing support to countries and cities in improving air quality in order to improve environmental quality and 
the health and well-being of all”. This new project will advance air quality action with more impact, visibility, and 
resources, by integrating UNEP’s multi-region and multi-level efforts to improve air quality, by leveraging more partners, 
financial resources and buy-in among industry, finance and the UN system, and by providing a platform to mobilize 
efforts across the house, particularly under projects aimed at transforming key sectors such as transport, waste, 
energy and other high-impact sectors so that air quality benefits can be fully harnessed.
The direct outcome of the project is that governments have measures, policies, or frameworks in place to reduce 
emissions of air pollutants from sources related to human activities for improved air quality and human health at 
national and subnational level through the support of UNEP. In order to achieve this outcome, the project will 
implement the following outputs:
Output 1: Partnerships and finance mobilized with industry and private sector to shift investments across high impact 
sectors
Output 2: Advisory and support services provided to countries and cities to detect and reduce the most harmful 
pollutants in high emitting impact sectors – widening, deepening, and connecting
Output 3: Increased evidence base for informed decision making through continued air quality monitoring, targeted 
assessments on health and economic impacts, sector specific interventions and economics of air pollution
Output 4: Global and regional movements strengthened to safeguard clean air for all with a focus on air quality and 
health nexus
PINSAN 3D Philippine Safe Abortion Advocacy Network (Pinsan) through Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) has been awarded a contribution by the State of the Netherlands, represented by the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation for the activity 3D: Decriminalize, Destigmatize and Demystify abortion in the Philippines. The main purposes of the activity are:
1. To strengthen the network and mobilize communities for sustainable abortion advocacy and campaigning. 2. To research and publish about the lived realities of women and their communities on abortion. 3. To conduct sustained campaigning to end unsafe abortion. 4. To popularize the new Administrative Order on Prevention and Management of Abortion and its Complications (PMAC). 5. To advance reforms in the penal and legal provisions on abortion. 6. To provide accurate and scientific data about abortion. 7. To create international engagements for sustainable abortion advocacy and campaigning in the Philippines. 8. To carry out a judicial review on violations and abuses in the context of post-abortion care. This project targets women and girls, community-based organisations, traditional media, health service providers, human rights advocates, legislators and the general public. The Philippines is one of a handful of countries which criminalize abortion without clear exceptions on any grounds, not even allowing the procedure to save the life or protect the health of a pregnant woman, when pregnancy is a result of rape or incest, or in cases of serious foetal deformity.  Whilst prosecutions are rare, these criminal provisions and the stigma associated with abortion forces women to resort to unsafe and clandestine procedures.  An estimated number of 610,000 abortions per year and over 100,000 Filipino women hospitalized due to complications.   Three women die every day due to unsafe abortion complications.   
 
Thirteen percent of women who have had an abortion in the Philippines cite pregnancy as a result of rape as their reason for seeking an abortion . One woman is raped every 71 minutes according to the 2014 Philippine National Police statistics. The absolute criminal ban on abortion violates women’s fundamental human rights, including the right to life, health, nondiscrimination, privacy, and freedom from cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. 
Furthermore despite adoption in 2013 of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law stating that every individual has the right to humane, compassionate, nonjudgmental, post abortion care,  a significant number of women approaching medical facilities  after an abortion  still experience abuse, discrimination and multiple types of delay in receiving care.  Women are often denied services, and some are arrested and threatened with imprisonment. Fear of criminalisation and abortion stigma are major factors in preventing women seeking medical help following complications from unsafe abortion.
