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. 606 $aEcology 606 $aEnvironmental impact analysis 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aGlobal environmental change 606 $aSCIENCE / Environmental Science (see also Chemistry / Environmental)$2bisacsh 610 $aSustainable development, Environment, Assessment, Outlook, Policy interface, Global. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEnvironmental impact analysis. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 0$aGlobal environmental change. 615 7$aSCIENCE / Environmental Science (see also Chemistry / Environmental). 676 $a363.7/063 700 $aBakkes$b Jan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01251746 702 $aCheatle$b Marion$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aM?avanadze$b Nora$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aWitt$b Ronald G.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 801 2$bTH-BaUNE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910574868603321 996 $aKeeping the World?s Environment under Review$92901528 997 $aUNINA
