Mr. Paul Clements-Hunt Head of Unit UNEP Finance Initiatives

Paul joined UNEP in December 2000. Prior to that, he spent the period 1998-2000 representing the Paris-based International Chamber of Commerce, the World Business Organisation, on matters related to their policy work in the fields of energy, environment and sustainable development.

From 1991-1998, Paul was based in Bangkok, Thailand, engaged in environmental business issues in the Southeast Asia region.

He started the first environmental communications, information and strategic issues consultancy in Thailand in 1992 and, in 1994, took the idea for a regionally focused environmental strategy consultancy to the world’s largest testing, inspection, and certification company, Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS).

The SGS Group developed the idea as the SGS Environmental Information Unit (EIU) with Paul directing SGS EIU as its Head of Research.
