Environment Programme)

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has just launched its 16th International children's painting competition. The Competition is organized annually by UNEP, with Nikon, Bayer and the Japan-based Foundation for Global Peace and Environment (FGPE). It has been held since 1991 and over the years has received 170,000 entries from children's in over 100 countries. This year's Competition will focus on the theme of Climate Change.

The selection process will be in two stages; the regional selection which will be done by UNEP Regional Offices and their partners, and the global selection which will be done by UNEP and its partners, Foundation for Global Peace and Environment (FGPE), Bayer and Nikon Corporation.
