**Responsibilities**:
The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is a unique global partnership between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the global financial sector.

UNEP FI works closely with over 450 financial institutions that are members of the initiative, and a range of partners and organizations to develop and promote linkages between the environment, sustainability and financial performance. Through its Working Groups, Regional activities, training programmes and research projects, UNEP FI carries out its mission to identify, promote, and realise the adoption of the best environmental and sustainability practices at all levels of financial institution operations.

UNEP FI’s sustainable finance training services are part of UNEP FI’s effort to carry out the mission to "identify, promote, and realise the adoption of best environmental and sustainability practice at all levels of financial institution operations”. The primary aim of these services is to raise awareness and to build capacity in sustainable finance amongst UNEP FI Signatories and other financial institutions, as well as relevant stakeholders in governments, NGOs and Academia, especially in developing countries and emerging markets.
