Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par voies de navigation intérieures (ADN)
L'Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par voies navigables intérieures (ADN) a été conclu à Genève le 26 mai 2000, à l'occasion d'une conférence diplomatique tenue sous les auspices conjoints de la Commission économique des Nations Unies pour l'Europe (CEE-ONU) et de la Banque centrale. Il est entré en vigueur le 29 février 2008. L'ADN se compose d'un texte juridique principal (l'Accord lui-même) et de règlements annexes et vise à assurer un niveau élevé de sécurité du transport international de marchandises dangereuses par voies navigables intérieures. Il vise à contribuer efficacement à la protection de l'environnement en prévenant toute pollution résultant d'accidents ou d'incidents lors d'un tel transport ; et à faciliter les opérations de transport et promouvoir le commerce international des marchandises dangereuses.

Adaptation Gap Report
The UNEP Adaptation Gap Report (AGR) series provides an annual science-based assessment of the global progress on adaptation planning, financing, and implementation. It also explores options for enhancing and advancing national and global adaptation efforts and provides in-depth analysis of selected issues of interest. UNEP has produced the AGR since 2014, with the aim to inform the climate negotiations among UN Member States. While it remains an independent assessment, the objective of the AGR is closely aligned with that of the UNFCCC Global Stocktake.

Agreement on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs and on the Special Equipment to be Used for such Carriage (ATP)
Done at Geneva on 1 September 1970 and entered into force on 21 November 1976, the objectives of the Agreement on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs and on the Special Equipment to be used for such Carriage (ATP) are to facilitate international transport of perishable foodstuffs and to ensure a high level of preservation of the quality of perishable foodstuffs during their carriage. It applies to the carriage of perishable foodstuffs performed on the territory of at least two Contracting States not only by road, but also by rail and by sea (sea crossings must be less than 150 km long). The ATP is an Agreement between States, and there is no overall enforcing authority.
Air Pollution Studies
Air pollution has significant impacts on our health, environment and economy. Pollutants in the air we breathe come from multiple sources, including sectors such as industry, transport and agriculture. Every day, air pollution causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. To improve air quality on the local, national and regional levels, UNECE member States have been working successfully to gradually reduce and prevent air pollution in the ECE region. One of the vehicles through which this has been achieved is the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution, which was signed in 1979. Over the years, it has been extended by eight protocols that identify specific measures to be taken by Parties to cut their emissions of air pollutants.Asia-Pacific Disaster Report

Diálogo internacional sobre la migración
Las últimas décadas han sido testigos de una expansión de iniciativas intergubernamentales y de otro tipo para desarrollar enfoques conjuntos ante la migración. El Diálogo Internacional sobre Migración (IDM) de la OIM ha desempeñado un papel pionero al reunir a todos los actores de la migración, a nivel global, para mantener debates libres y abiertos sobre las oportunidades y desafíos que presenta la migración. El IDM es el principal foro de la OIM para el diálogo sobre políticas migratorias. Fundado en 2001 y arraigado en la Constitución y la Estrategia de la OIM, el IDM está abierto a los Estados Miembros y Observadores de la OIM, así como a organizaciones internacionales y no gubernamentales, migrantes y socios de los medios de comunicación, el mundo académico o el sector privado. El IDM proporciona un espacio para analizar cuestiones actuales y emergentes en la gobernanza de la migración e intercambiar experiencias, enfoques de políticas y prácticas efectivas. Cada año, la IDM se guía por un tema general seleccionado por los miembros de la OIM a través de un proceso de consultas informales. El tema anual se elabora durante talleres que reúnen a responsables de políticas migratorias y profesionales de todo el mundo. Las publicaciones de esta serie presentan informes de las sesiones y ofrecen a los lectores una recopilación de datos relevantes, evidencia, mejores prácticas, enfoques innovadores y recomendaciones relevantes para la implementación del Pacto Mundial tal como fueron compartidas por expertos en migración, gobiernos y profesionales en esas reuniones.
