25. An initial goal of the environmental management systems across the Secretariat would be to avoid a negative impact on the climate, but they would also take other environmental objectives into account in terms of Secretariat operations and facilities management. This is understood to mean that all entities would undertake efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts as far as possible while meeting their business needs and delivering their mandates. The Secretariat is already tracking its greenhouse gas emissions, using a standard methodology across the entire United Nations system.
