Collaborating Centres

UNEP

Member States requested in Resolution 5/3 that UNEP’s Executive Director facilitate partnerships with collaborating centers. It is expected that GEO collaborating centers will support the core GEO-7 process by focusing on science and capacity building at various levels.

These strategic collaborations are expected to strengthen GEO’s geographically, gender and expertise balanced and cost-effective scientific assessment process, governance and administration, supporting the credibility and relevance of GEO findings by enhancing its reach and impact. 

GEO-7’s innovative and solutions-focused approach will require a broad range of expertise. UNEP is seeking partnerships with collaborating centers from all regions of the world, specifically, but not limited to, the following technical areas: 

  • Developing scenarios and modelling of solutions pathways for the three interdependent systems, energy, food and materials/waste and their supporting economic and financial models; 
  • Providing scientific information and expertise for respective regional/sub regional and/or thematic areas relevant to the analysis conducted in GEO-7 
  • Providing support for capacity-building, knowledge generation and policymaking at global, regional and national levels; 
  • Supporting UNEP’s outreach and communication efforts for the dissemination of GEO findings.
