Although much of our international work is focused on development issues, our world-class science also means UKCEH works in numerous countries in Europe, the Americas and Australasia, as well as with multi-country global programmes in both developing and developed nations. UKCEH is an implementer of a number of major, global UN programmes (including UNECE and UNEP) and helps represent UK interests in UNESCO and WMO.
