|Plan to Achieve the Targets and Objectives |

Introduction

The Environment Programme (Implementation Plan) 2002-2003 provides details the key measures of the UNU Environmental Management System to be implemented in the current biennium.

This implementation plan provides information on the key targets related to the significant environmental aspects of UNU’s operations and activities.

The UNU Environmental Policy Statement forms the framework of the Environment Programme, and key targets and objectives are presented for each unit within the UNU as well as basic schedule for implementation and reporting. The details of implementation are left for the individual units on the basis of what they consider to be the most appropriate approach and in line with existing UNU procedures and operating plans.

Monitoring will be undertaken by the UNU in order to check the rate of progress towards the achievement of these objectives and the related targets. The final results from the monitoring will be reported online via the UNU ISO14001 Website and newsletter, in the biannual environmental review and summarized briefly in the annual reports for UNU and UNU/IAS.

The document is intended to be a concise in order to allow maximum flexibility for UNU personnel to attain and even go beyond the targets and objectives.

In order to provide insights on the scale of our existing environmental impacts, we provide some of the main indicators of the current state of our environmental performance in box 1.

A description of the significant environmental aspects and a list of objectives and targets and a schedule for implementation and reporting is then presented. The responsibilities of each UNU Unit here in Tokyo are also detailed in this report.

Significant Environmental Aspects

Initially UNU identified the significant environmental aspects using the procedure UNU-EMS 4.3.1 and are presented in the table below. More information on the assessment of these aspects can be found in the document entitled “Identification of Significant Environmental Aspects.”

The prioritization of these aspects is as follows:

High Priority (Positive Impacts)

|No.8 Environment Related Research: Need to maintain existing levels. |

|No.9 Training and Capacity Building |

|No.10 Networking and Dissemination |

|No.13 Local Events |

High Priority (Negative Impacts)

|No.1 Emergency Releases (Preparedness): The procedures and training related to emergency need to be reviewed. |

|No.3 Other Resources: Not shown as significant in the assessment but an area where some improvements can be made in terms of green |

|procurement and recycling. |

|No.4 Waste: The waste management system needs to be improved. |

|No.5 Internal Air Quality: Raised as a concern by the UNU Personnel and Senior Management. |

A full list of significant environmental aspects can be seen in the table 1 on the following page. Information on the inputs and outputs associated with each individual project identified in Table 1 can be found in the relevant project documents.

UNU Objectives and Targets

Based on the above significant environmental aspects and in accordance with procedure UNU-EMS 4.3.3, a set of objectives and targets have been developed that are in line with the key themes of the UNU Environmental Policy Statement. The development of these objectives and targets has been involved, the development of an initial set of objectives and targets from analysis of the previous biennium’s objectives and targets from the Environmental Review 2002.

In consultation with the ISO14001 Unit Heads and ISO14001 Steering Group, the objectives and targets were refined and then reviewed by the Rector and amended accordingly. Subsequently this updated version has been prepared in December 2002 and will form the basis of the implementation plan of the UNU’s environmental programme in the period 2002-2003.

A full list of the objectives and targets are presented in table 2 below:

Responsibilities for Implementation

With regard to the specific objectives and targets for each unit, please refer to the Annex I. The responsibility for meeting the objectives and targets can be broken down on a unit by unit basis as follows:

Unit 1: UNU/IAS

UNU/IAS should take the lead in maintaining Objective 3-1 in line with existing operational practices and reporting procedures and should also make efforts to comply with the following objectives 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, and 2-1.

Unit 2: UNU Centre

The UNU Centre should take the lead in maintaining Objective 3-1 and 4-1 in line with existing operational practices and reporting procedures. The UNU centre should also comply with 1-2, 1-3 and 1-6.

Unit 3: UNU Services

UNU services should pay attention to the implementation of Objective 3-1 (in particular the target 3-1-3). It should comply with Objectives 1-2,1-3 and 1-6 and should provide support to GEIC with Objective 4-1.

Unit 4: UNU Administration

The UNU Administration Unit has the main responsibility for the implementation of measures under Objectives 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6 and 2-1. The UNU Administration Unit, through the personnel section, should implement a programme for staff development related to ISO14001 as specified under the procedure UNU-EMS 4.4.2 and in support of the attainment of the above objectives and targets.

Unit 5: UNU Building Tenants

Participation of UNU Building Tenants in the UNU’s ISO14001 programme is purely voluntary although they may be interested to cooperate with the implementation of Objectives 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 and 1-6.

Schedule for Implementation and Reporting

The implementation and reporting for the research, capacity building and dissemination activities of the UNU related to ISO14001 will follow the existing biennium programme that has been in operation since the founding of the University. Additional implementation and reporting for other significant environmental aspects will be annual (normally in December of every year) or based on requirements set out in contracts (between UNU and Sanko) or as per existing regulations.

Table 3 below fully explains the relationship between ISO14001 reporting requirements and those already operational within the UNU. The dates provided cover the period for 2003 and should be seen as indicative. The rows shaded indicate that indirect environmental aspects are being monitored and reported. In addition, a considerable amount of data is collected on a more regular basis. For instance, information on the consumption of electricity, gas, water, rainwater and waste are recorded daily. Drinking water quality is also monitored daily. Records are maintained by Sanko Inc. and Cosmos Aoyama. Monthly reports on energy and water consumption are submitted to the UNU Administration Unit (these include breakdowns by various floors within the UNU and for individual units such as GEIC. A monthly summary of the water balance at the UNU is prepared by Sanko Inc. Weekly reports on waste levels are submitted by Tokyo Clear Centre to UNU Administration Unit.

Format of the Reports/Monitoring

Specific checklists and formats are available for each monitoring/measuring programme as required by existing legislation or in line with UN regulations. Samples are available for inspection with the relevant unit concerned with monitoring and are not presented in this form.

In addition, the UNU maintains an electronic record system for administrative purposes covering all issues such as personnel contracts, procurement and travel.

Monitoring of the indirect effects of UNU operations relevant to ISO14001 essentially adopts the standard UN project development and reporting procedures. Essentially, the UNU adopts a biennium programme for project development and implementation. However, in some instances projects can be adopted in a more flexible manner when funds become available externally and for over two years if appropriate.

A standard reporting procedure is in operation that roughly includes the following information on a project by project basis.

• Name of project

• Duration

• Responsibilities

• Personnel

• Abstract

• Action Plan

• Outcomes and Audience

Information on the project is maintained by the relevant project coordinator and progress is regularly (at least twice a year) reviewed by the Unit Leader and the Office of the Rector.

It is not anticipated that significant changes will take place in the reporting of indirect significant environmental aspects of the UNU’s activities. Rather it is envisaged that simply including an icon within the annual reports would be sufficient to indicate to the reader that the project and related outcomes were objectives and targets for the UNU ISO14001 initiative. The following icon provides a useful example of how the system may operate.
