I’d also note that the new Secretary-General announcement for the organization’s Executive Director, uses the UNEP “brand”

The (now departed) Executive Director when he started wanted fewer acronyms used and a more ''relatable'' public face for the organization. However, the name itself was not formally changed (though staff were instructed, as Ken says, to use it religiously) and some member states are on record as having not been so supportive of this (somewhat unilateral) re-branding exercise. Formal/legal documents (e.g. for UNEA, or contracts) still use UNEP. So no, should not be shunned for still saying UNEP as it is actually still the official name!

In my experience the goal is to get people saying UN Environment, and staff will do so in presentations, press releases, etc, but UNEP is still in wide conversational use.

In all seriousness, I understand "UN Environment” is what the organization wants to be called…but are people generally saying “UN Environment" these days in international fora? And does the difference between saying “UNEP" and "UN Environment” matter in any consequential way at all? I should emphasize that I really have no agenda with these questions…they are asked out of cloistered ignorance and curiosity…and I suppose I should be saying the right thing to my students….. As usual, if you want to send me your response, I’ll collate them and send out.
