Integrated Environmental Assessment and Reporting: The GEO Approach by UNEP

The Integrated Environmental Assessment (IEA) framework, as developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) through the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) approach, process, and products, aims to provide comprehensive policy-relevant insights on the interplay between the environment and human society. This includes global assessments (GEO-1 to GEO-4), yearbooks, regional reports, and educational products. The IEA seeks to answer crucial questions regarding environmental changes, their impacts, effectiveness of responses, future scenarios, and sustainable policy recommendations to foster a healthier planet.
