GUPES University Partners

The Global Universities Partnership on Environment for Sustainability (GUPES), is one of the flagship programmes of UN Environment's Environmental Education and Training Unit. GUPES was the result of a consultative forum organized by UN Environment and its partners, to deliberate on ways of escalating UN Environment’s engagement with universities. It builds on the successes of the Mainstreaming Environment and Sustainability in African Universities, the nascent Mainstreaming Environment and Sustainability in the Caribbean Universities and the Asia-Pacific Regional University Consortium (RUC). At present, over 800 universities and regional partners/focal points from five different continents are part of the growing GUPES network.
