**Responsibilities**:
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.
Under its Western Balkan portfolio, it facilitates the implementation and execution of numerous projects pertaining to climate change, biodiversity protection, land degradation and other environmental related aspects. Large part of this portfolio consists of GEF funded projects that mainly relate to execution of the biodiversity and land degradation components of the national STAR allocations. In addition, there are a few climate change and air pollution initiatives that WB countries are a part of, that are also being executed by the Office in Vienna.
The projects that are executing the land degradation components of STAR national allocations, are developing, and strengthening national policy and institutional capacity for sustainable land management practices and are contributing to national land degradation neutrality targets. In addition, the land degradation projects have large components dealing with implementation of sustainable land and forest management practices on the ground through; reforestation of more than 12,000 ha of eroded land, installation of protective belts and windbreaks on selected sites, introduction of ecological approaches for torrent control and number of other activities. Climate change-related assignments are mainly focused on establishing a comprehensive knowledge management information base tailored to the WB needs and empowerment of the key stakeholders and experts in incorporating the climate considerations into respective planning and decision-making processes.
