It counts over 200 members among leading banks, investment funds, and insurance companies. UNEP FI seeks to encourage the better implementation of sustainability principles at all levels of operations in financial institutions, namely through the incorporation of environmental, social and governance factors or ESG in risk analyses. It is known for designing and developing the acclaimed Principles for Responsible Investment or PRI , which has now over 900 signatories. Background The initiative rose from the combined forces of a small group of commercial banks and UNEP in 1991 after having identified the need to account for environmental impacts in their operations. In 1992, the UNEP Financial Institutions Initiative was created, followed by the UNEP Insurance Initiative in 1995. Both were subsequently merged to form the current partnership in 2003. Statement The UNEP FI statement is the backbone of the initiative. It constitutes a list of basic guidelines that should be followed by institutions in order to adhere to sustainability principles. These statements are aspirational, and are therefore followed on a voluntary basis, decreasing accountability to the institution. Signatories ... improved CSR Caroll, 1999 .

- Africa Environment Outlook for Youth
Weasel date August 2010 The Africa Environment Outlook for Youth , also known as AEO for Youth, was a United Nations Environment Programme UNEP project that established Africa s first ever youth environmental network. This network worked with young people from at least 41 African countries and mobilised them to write a vibrant youth oriented book known as AEO for Youth . The book captured the views and perspectives of young people from all over Africa. History During UNEP s Global Youth Retreat GYR 2003, held at the UNEP Headquarters in Nairobi , the African caucus endorsed a proposal to develop a youth version of the Africa Environment Outlook AEO . AEO for Youth targeted young people between the ages of 16 and 30. It updated and highlighted the main AEO environmental themes in a way that was interesting, attractive and appealing to youth in Africa. The resultant product was an image intensive, vibrantly designed book that was launched at the Africa Ministerial Conference on the Environment in Congo Brazzaville , in 2006. The AEO for Youth Project was led by David Bwakali together with sub regional coordinators from all of Africa s six sub regions.
