About GEO
About

The Global Environment Outlook (GEO) is often referred to as UNEP's flagship environmental assessment. The first publication in 1997 was originally requested by Member States. It is a flagship report because it fulfils the core functions of the organization, which date back to the UN General Assembly resolution that established UNEP in 1972.
