URC supports the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in its aim to incorporate environmental aspects into energy planning and policy worldwide, with a special emphasis to assist developing countries.

Activities at URC are interdisciplinary and can therefore not be easily divided into independent areas. However, for the sake of simplicity, activities have been classified into three convening themes: Energy, Climate, and Sustainable Development and Transportation. The Energy Theme relates to financing, renewables and efficiency, institutional reform, energy access and rural energy, and general planning, modelling and policy. The Climate Theme deals with Kyoto mechanisms, scientific assessments (within IPCC and other), support within UNFCCC (to Secretariat, UNEP and countries), and climate policy on mitigation and adaptation. The Sustainable Development Theme includes sector specific activities (e.g. transportation), development strategies and sustainability indicators.
