Global efforts to protect the environment

PPI’s main delegate at the United Nations Office of Geneva, Mr. Carlos Polo, attended events of the Environmental Programme (UNEP) this August. We attach some pictures of his visit, and we offer some comments about the efforts of our organization in helping to shape environmental policy.   The UNEP oordinates environmental work across the UN, but it is not the only organization. The UN has now created the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The following is a report from PPI´s representative at the United Nations Office of Vienna, Mr. Kay Schroeder, who attended the UNODC Conference on Illegal Finance and Crypto.   Reflections from the 9th Global Conference on Criminal Finance and Crypto – UN Vienna Yesterday I attended the 9th Global Conference on Criminal Finance and Crypto, hosted at the United Nations in Vienna with support from UNODC.

Czech Pirates Win 18 Seats in Parliament!
