The Library’s purpose is to develop and maintain a collection of scientific and technical information on the global state of the environment, human settlements and UN-related issues which will assist the staff of the United Nations and outside users in analyzing trends, assessing problems and promoting activities leading to environmentally sound development. In addition, it acts as a depository library for the United Nations and some of its specialized agencies.
