Re: [gep-ed] "UNEP" vs. "UN Environment" in the real world

[Roberts, J. Timmons]

To paraphrase Monty Python: "UNEP, UNEP, UNEP!  There, I said it!"

Sorry, couldn't resist.  All I've ever heard over the whole period in
UNFCCC circles is UNEP.

[gep-ed] Summary of responses re: "UNEP" vs. "UN Environment" in the real world

[Charles Chester]

Hi everyone,

Wow—thanks all, for a very helpful set of replies. Here are the illuminating 
responses in reverse chronological order, alternating green/orange:

Kia ora all,

This is what I heard from a UNEP staff member of 25 years, currently working in 
an outposted office. It supports what Jonathan Krueger and Ken Conca have said 
already:

"The term UN Environment was brought in by Erik Solheim, the Executive Director 
(ED) who joined in 2016 and resigned last month under a cloud.  

UN headquarters has never accepted the term UN Environment, nor did the UNEP 
governing body, the United Nations Environment Assembly. Any correspondence 
from the UN Secretary General's office only ever mentions United Nations 
Environment Programme or UNEP, never UN Environment. The day the ED resigned 
many of us gleefully returned to using UNEP.  We hope that the incoming ED will 
revert to using the legally mandated and well-liked names."

All good wishes, 
Wendy Jackson


I’d also note that the new Secretary-General announcement for the 
organization’s Executive Director, uses the UNEP “brand”
 
https://www.un.org/sg/sites/www.un.org.sg/files/files/fr/other-vacancies/UNEP-USG_EN.pdf
 

 
wil


My understanding is that this was more of a re-branding exercise, than an 
actual (legal) name change. 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!

Best,
Jonathan Krueger


My experience completely accords with Ken’s response!
—sv

The name is now UN Environment but they still use the acronym UNEP (see for 
example the just-released 2018 Emissions Gap report: 
https://www.unenvironment.org/resources/emissions-gap-report-2018 
 --in which 
the official/recommended citation is UNEP as author). 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. Some folks 
on this list will recall all the gymnastics around IUCN name changes over the 
years, while preserving the acronym …kc


This is indeed a current debate and many scholars and policymakers are finding 
it difficult to decide which name to use. I just convened a workshop on 
international environmental governance with the support of the Nordic Council 
of Ministers and during the two days we deliberated, we all used UNEP. The 
official name remains United Nations Environment Programme and UNEP is valid. 
Indeed, some governments strongly prefer not to use UN Environment.
 
I think the broad consensus at the moment is that when you speak with people 
who know the system well and the organizations within it, you use UNEP. When 
you speak to a wider public and want to refer to the environmental organization 
in the UN system in a way that people who do not know the UN well can easily 
identify what you are talking about, you say UN Environment.
 
Since Erik Solheim, the Executive Director who led the name change, has stepped 
down, it is not clear what will happen with the new name. I would therefore 
suggest that you use UN Environment Programme, UN Environment and UNEP 
depending on the audience. You will certainly not be shunned, avoided or 
socially ostracized for saying UNEP! ☺
 
I’d be glad to hear your own opinion about the various names and the reaction 
from students and others that you have experienced.
 
Warm regards,
Maria


UNEP is fine. Most people with any experience in the organization will continue 
to call it that. 


UN Environment was the brainchild of Erik Solheim, who thought that it was more 
memorable and a better brand.  Solheim, of course, is gone now, so it may be 
that the rebranding went with him! 

Even during Solheim's tenure, the name was never formally changed, UN reports 
continued to refer to UNEP, and many UN staffers did as well.  I don't think 
you'll be shunned either way! 

Cheers,
John H. Knox


I call it Whatup. Is that wrong??

I’ll leave you all to guess who wrote the last (viz., first in) one….

[gep-ed] Duke's 2019 Global Policy Program -- Geneva, Switzerland

[Ronald Mitchell]

This from Tana Johnson at Duke – the program, from what I hear and based on 
Tana’s reputation more generally – should be a great opportunity for graduate 
students!

Hello Ron,

 

Below, I’ve included details about Duke’s 2019 summer program in Geneva.  
Please share the following info with your graduate students (and anyone else 
who can help to get the word out)?  Thanks very much!

 

Tana

The  
 
Duke Global Policy Program in Geneva is accepting applications to its 2019 
internship program until Sunday, December 16th, 2018. Students who apply by the 
16th will receive their admission decision by December 20th. See below for 
details about the program’s various options.

 

The Duke Global Policy Program in Geneva is a summer program designed to equip 
graduate students with the practical tools and knowledge necessary to be global 
change agents. Students are invited to apply to either our  
 Internship 
Program or our  
 Intensive 
Course Week Program (no internship included). See more details about the 
program, costs, and application requirements below.

 

By taking part in either program, students apply for one of our three program 
tracks:

 
 
Environment, Energy, and the Economy

  Global Health

  
Humanitarian Crises, Refugees, and Human Rights 

 

Students in both the Internship Program and the Intensive Course Week Program 
will learn how international and non-governmental organizations in Geneva are 
working to address today’s most pressing global challenges. The Intensive 
Course Week, required for all students, includes meetings with approximately 20 
practitioners, site visits to Geneva-based IGOs and NGOs, networking events, 
professional coaching, group case simulations, and a culminating policy memo 
assignment. It’s a rigorous week that shapes students’ professional and 
personal ambitions, and earns participants 3.0 academic credits from Duke 
University. Students wishing to only participate in the Intensive Course Week 
should follow the directions on the  
 following 
page.

 

Students have the option to add an internship component to the program, through 
participation in our  
 
internship program. As part of the internship program, selected students will 
receive support from the program for securing a summer internship in Geneva. 
See our   FAQ page for 
additional details, and review your eligibility for the internship program on 
the  
 
How to Apply page.

Academic Programs Assistant, at   gen...@duke.edu.
