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
