More about the activity
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is the expert authority in Sweden that is responsible for overall management of national environmental issues. The majority of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's areas of responsibility and work mainly concern the Swedish context, but the authority also conducts significant international work through the EU and a number of multilateral and international bodies, as well as through global and bilateral development cooperation. Sida has supported the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's global development cooperation through its international unit since 2006. As of 2014, this is done through a global program that the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency implements in collaboration with, among others, the UN Development Program (UNDP) and the UN Environment Program (UN Environment). During 2018 and 2019, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and Sida conducted a dialogue on the scope and focus of a new possible Sida support for the program. In connection with this, Sida has been able to contribute with dialogue (among other things in the form of consulting support) about the adaptive working method it intends to use. In September 2019, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency submitted an application to Sida for support for a continuation of the current global program. The proposed program takes place in collaboration with previous partners and is based on ongoing activities and previous experience. The proposal chooses to focus on a continuation of two of the previous sub-programs; Environmental Governance Program (EGP) in collaboration with UNDP which constitutes about 85% of the budget and development of environmental management systems within the UN in collaboration with UN Environment and which constitutes about 15% of the budget. The overall goal is that global, national and local mechanisms, which promote basic procedural rights and reduce power imbalances in the management of the mining sector, are applied and followed up through multi-party cooperation and co-creation for positive change. The purpose of this is to reduce emissions, promote biodiversity, climate change, its negative health effects, multidimensional poverty and inequalities, as well as the risk of conflict linked to social and environmental problems. The program has been built based on four target areas (outcomes). Three target areas concern the management of the mining sector in collaboration with UNDP and are divided into goals, activities and expected results at local, national and regional / global level. The activities take place mainly at local and national level and based on this they intend to spread experience and knowledge to relevant processes at regional and global level, e.g. in connection with multilateral environmental agreements and the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) objectives. The fourth area of results aims to reduce the UN's negative, and strengthen the organization's positive, environmental impact by supporting a strengthened and systematic internal environmental management system.

Expected results
Det övergripande målet är att globala, nationella och lokala mekanismer, som främjar basala processuella rättigheter och minskar maktobalanser i styrning av gruvsektorn, tillämpas samt följs upp genom flerpartssamarbete och samskapande för positiva förändringar. Syftet med detta är att minska utsläpp, främja biodiversitet, klimatförändringar, negativa hälsoeffekter av detta, multidimensionell fattigdom och ojämlikheter samt risken för konflikt kopplad till sociala och miljömässiga problem. Följande delmål avser bidra till det övergripande målet: 1) Intressenter på lokal nivå, speciellt kvinnor, ungdomar, urbefolkning och andra som lever i utsatta stituationer i de länder som programmet kommer verka i påverkar beslutsfattare på ett effektivt sätt, följer upp gruvdriften på stat- och sektornivå samt kan hålla ansvariga parter ansvariga för den negativa effekt som gruvdriften har vad gäller miljömässig hållbarhet, multidimensionell fattigdom och förerbyggandet av sociala och miljömässiga konflikter. 2) Att nationella policyer, genomförande och administrativt beslutsfattande kopplat till naturresurser och sociala och miljömässiga risker i gruvsektorn är stärkt och bygger på mänskliga rättigheter, globala ramverk, lagstiftning och rättsstatens principer i alla länder där programmet verkar. Syftet med detta är att minska miljöförstöring, ojämlikhet och obalanser, risken för konflikter och multidimensionell fattigdom bland de människor som är direkt eller indirekt påverkade av gruvdriften. 3) De lärdomar, erfarenheter och kunskap som genererats på lokal och nationell nivå genom programmet förs fram regionalt och globalt för att främja kvalitet, samstämmighet, tillämpning och uppföljning av relevanta internationella miljöavtal och utvecklingsmål (SDG). 4) FN-organisationer minskar sin negativa påverkan och maximerar sin positiva påverkan på miljön genom en stärkt och mer systematisk intern hantering av sin miljöpåverkan.

Full description
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is the expert authority in Sweden that is responsible for overall management of national environmental issues. The majority of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's areas of responsibility and work mainly concern the Swedish context, but the authority also conducts significant international work through the EU and a number of multilateral and international bodies, as well as through global and bilateral development cooperation. Sida has supported the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's global development cooperation through its international unit since 2006. As of 2014, this is done through a global program that the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency implements in collaboration with, among others, the UN Development Program (UNDP) and the UN Environment Program (UN Environment). During 2018 and 2019, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and Sida conducted a dialogue on the scope and focus of a new possible Sida support for the program. In connection with this, Sida has been able to contribute with dialogue (among other things in the form of consulting support) about the adaptive working method it intends to use.

Expected results
Det övergripande målet är att globala, nationella och lokala mekanismer, som främjar basala processuella rättigheter och minskar maktobalanser i styrning av gruvsektorn, tillämpas samt följs upp genom flerpartssamarbete och samskapande för positiva förändringar. Syftet med detta är att minska utsläpp, främja biodiversitet, klimatförändringar, negativa hälsoeffekter av detta, multidimensionell fattigdom och ojämlikheter samt risken för konflikt kopplad till sociala och miljömässiga problem. Följande delmål avser bidra till det övergripande målet: 1) Intressenter på lokal nivå, speciellt kvinnor, ungdomar, urbefolkning och andra som lever i utsatta stituationer i de länder som programmet kommer verka i påverkar beslutsfattare på ett effektivt sätt, följer upp gruvdriften på stat- och sektornivå samt kan hålla ansvariga parter ansvariga för den negativa effekt som gruvdriften har vad gäller miljömässig hållbarhet, multidimensionell fattigdom och förerbyggandet av sociala och miljömässiga konflikter. 2) Att nationella policyer, genomförande och administrativt beslutsfattande kopplat till naturresurser och sociala och miljömässiga risker i gruvsektorn är stärkt och bygger på mänskliga rättigheter, globala ramverk, lagstiftning och rättsstatens principer i alla länder där programmet verkar. Syftet med detta är att minska miljöförstöring, ojämlikhet och obalanser, risken för konflikter och multidimensionell fattigdom bland de människor som är direkt eller indirekt påverkade av gruvdriften. 3) De lärdomar, erfarenheter och kunskap som genererats på lokal och nationell nivå genom programmet förs fram regionalt och globalt för att främja kvalitet, samstämmighet, tillämpning och uppföljning av relevanta internationella miljöavtal och utvecklingsmål (SDG). 4) FN-organisationer minskar sin negativa påverkan och maximerar sin positiva påverkan på miljön genom en stärkt och mer systematisk intern hantering av sin miljöpåverkan.
