    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Crimes that affect the environment, including wildlife and forest crime, crimes in the fisheries sector, minerals and waste crime, are a serious and growing problem. These crimes are not only a major and significant threat to the security of the environment, but also frequently involve other forms of serious criminality such as money laundering, corruption, human trafficking, tax and customs fraud, labour exploitation, and serious violations of environmental and public health and safety laws. Organized criminal networks are moving poached or illegally harvested natural resources using a variety of smuggling techniques, often by means of existing infrastructure and well- developed routes used for the trafficking of drugs, people, weapons, counterfeit goods and other forms of contraband. Furthermore, these crimes rob communities of their natural resources, impacts livelihoods and food security of local populations. To address this, UNODC's Global Programme on Crimes that Affect the Environment (GPCAE) delivers a range of technical assistance activities within several thematic areas towards achieving the key project objective of strengthening capacity to prevent and combat crimes that affect the environment on a regional, national and local basis. The GPCAE also raises awareness of such crimes among different stakeholders at the global and regional levels, including civil society, aiming to contribute to the reduction of demand for illegally exploited natural resources.
