UNEP Factsheets on Sustainable Public Procurement in National Governments

We are pleased to share with you the Factsheets on Sustainable Public Procurement in National Governments, which is a supplement to the 2022 Sustainable Public Procurement Global Review. It features 45 country factsheets that illustrate the current state of sustainable public procurement (SPP) among national governments around the world. These factsheets provide detailed information about the SPP-related policies, laws, activities, and monitoring systems in place in each country. They also highlight best practices and provide important links to government procurement and SPP-related web portals, as well as SPP contacts within government.

Many thanks to the 45 national governments that participated in this effort which would not have been conclusive without the generous support of the Korea Environmental, Industry and Technology Institute (KEITI) and the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and the Environment.
