A variety of supranational environmental agencies, commissions, programs, and secretariats exist across the world today. Some are global in nature, while others are regional; they may be multilateral or bilateral in character. Some are responsible for broad areas of environmental policy, regulation, and implementation; others focus on very specific issue areas. This article lists notable supranational environmental agencies, by region.
