World Meteorological Organization

Information about the ozone layer. From weather prediction to air pollution research, climate change related activities, ozone layer depletion studies and tropical storm forecasting, the World Meteorological Organization coordinates global scientific activity to allow increasingly prompt and accurate weather information and other services for public, private and commercial use, including international airline and shipping industries. WMO's activities contribute to the safety of life and property, the socio-economic development of nations and the protection of the environment.

 

British Antarctic Survey

 

British Antarctic Survey

Research, survey and monitoring of the Antarctic. British Antarctic Survey (BAS) undertakes a world-class programme of science in the Antarctic and related regions, addressing key global and regional issues through research, survey and monitoring. BAS also helps to discharge the UK's international responsibilities under the Antarctic Treaty System. In so doing BAS sustains for the UK an active and influential regional presence, and a leadership role in Antarctic affairs, especially concerning environmental protection and management.

United Nations Environmental Programme

 

United Nations Environmental Programme

Research, survey and monitoring of the Antarctic.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is built on a heritage of service to the environment. UNEP’s uniqueness lies in its advocacy of environmental concerns within the international system. In this, it makes a particular effort to nurture partnerships with other UN bodies possessing complementary skills and delivery capabilities and enhancing the participation of civil society - the private sector, scientific community, NGOs, youth, women, and sports organizations in the achievement of sustainable development.

Today, the challenge before UNEP is to implement an environmental agenda that is integrated strategically with the goals of economic development and social well-being - an agenda for sustainable development.
