Validated Terminal Review of the UNEP Project “Environmental Treaties Programme – Realizing Synergies for Biodiversity” (PIMS ID 01988 / IPMR n. 35480) 2017 – 2023

This report is a management-led Terminal Review of the UNEP project Environmental Treaties Programme – Realizing Synergies for Biodiversity (Treaties I) implemented between 2017 and 2023. The project's overall development goal was to support countries in implementing environmental treaties and improve international environmental governance to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and other globally agreed environmental goals. The review sought to assess project performance (in terms of relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency) and determine outcomes and impacts (actual and potential) stemming from the project, including their sustainability. The review has two primary purposes: (i) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and (ii) to promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UNEP, the Donors, and the relevant agencies of the project participating countries.
