Description
Summary:The Swedish EPA conducts international cooperation both bilaterally and in various multilateral forums. Our special area of expertise is capacity development for more efficient and effective environmental governance, based on democracy, human rights and rule of law with a clear citizen perspective. We work in partnerships to create better conditions for good environmental governance and strengthen the capacity of organisations and institutions. We cooperate bilaterally with environmental agencies in some ten countries, multilaterally in the Nordic countries and the Arctic and Barents regions, and with UN bodies such as UNEP, UNDP and UNECE.
