Europe
Europe is a continent forming the western peninsula of Eurasia, bounded by the Arctic and Atlantic oceans and—by convention—the Ural Mountains, the northern Caspian shore via the Emba (Zhem) River/Mughalzhar Hills, and the Kuma–Manych Depression toward the Black and Mediterranean seas. Occupying roughly 10 million km², it is home to about 744 million people in 2025, features dense linguistic and cultural diversity, and encompasses influential political and economic organizations such as the European Union and NATO.
United Nations Environment Programme
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the UN’s leading global authority on the environment, established in 1972 after the Stockholm Conference to coordinate environmental action and science across the UN system. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, it is governed by the United Nations Environment Assembly and led by Executive Director Inger Andersen, with a mandate focused on the ‘triple planetary crisis’ of climate change, nature loss, and pollution.
