The new Tunza logo

A new logo for the youth and children activities of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was presented during celebrations marking the opening of the “Tunza International Youth Conference” in Leverkusen. The logo depicts the four elements (fire, earth, water and air) within a circle symbolizing the Earth. The word “Tunza”, the slogan of UNEP’s programs for youth and children, also appears in the logo. The word comes from the East African language Kiswahili and means: “To treat with care and affection”.

The new Tunza song, “Time for Action”, was also performed for the first time at the opening ceremony. The logo and the song were specially created by Bayer for this event.

“We welcome our partner Bayer’s commitment,” said Eric Falt, UNEP Communications Director. “The logo is a magnificent symbol of passion of the environment and diversity, both of which are key values for UNEP. It will be the new symbol for all our activities involving young people and children.”
