Partnership logo

IETC is part of a network of organizations involved with the promotion of application of Environmentally Sound Technology. We believe in reciprocity, joint action and collaborations between agencies in order to build on complementary strengths. Based on these principles IETC functions in a catalytic role and seeks to:

  • Be a forum for raising issues with other organizations.
  • Advise and guide, providing information and insights into opportunity.
  • Be a stimulus to other organizations to come together.

As a part of the Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (DTIE), IETC is currently closely co-ordinating its activities with substantive offices of UNEP, mainly Division of Policy Development and Law and Division of Environmental Policy Implementation, INFOTERRA and UNEP's regional offices. We are also implementing joint activities with the Sustainable Cities Programme (SCP) of UN-HABITAT, and working in close collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Regional Economic Commissions and the United Nations organizations at large.

NGOs, UN, Governments Private Sector

We are also building partnerships and collaborative relationships with international and bilateral financial institutions, technical assistance organizations, the private and academic sectors, foundations and corporations to broaden our technical and financial base of IETC.
