The United Nations Environment Programme is a United Nations environmental agency founded in 1972 and headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya.[1]
Its EO-relevant role includes operating a federated environmental data system launched at UNEP's 50th anniversary in 2022.[2][1] That system connects more than 45 platforms and more than 70 data sources, including satellite image data products, maps, and dashboards for environmental monitoring.[2] For institutions evaluating public environmental intelligence infrastructure, UNEP is an agency-side operator and publishing channel for satellite-derived environmental information.[2]
