How do we take stock of the state and direction of the world’s
environment, and what can we learn from the experience? Among the
myriad detailed narratives about the condition of the planet, the
Global Environment Outlook (GEO) reports—issued by the United
Nations Environment Programme—stand out as the most ambitious.
For nearly three decades the GEO project has not only delivered
iconic global assessment reports, but through its multitude of
contributors has inspired hundreds of similar processes worldwide
from the regional to the local level. This book provides an inside
account of the evolution of the GEO project from its earliest days.
Building on meticulous research, including interviews with former
heads of the United Nations Environment Programme, diplomats,
leading contributing scientists, and senior leaders of
collaborating organizations, the story is told from the perspective
of five GEO veterans who all played a pivotal role in shaping the
periodic assessments. The GEO’s history provides striking
insights and will save valuable time to those who commission,
design and conduct, as well as critique and improve, assessments of
environmental development in the next decade.
