The resumed fifth session of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA 5.2) requested the preparation of the seventh edition of the Global Environment Outlook (GEO-7). This request directed UNEP’s Executive Director to prepare this edition of GEO through streamlined and cost-effective governance and administration. In the current global assessment landscape, from financing, administration, and dissemination of findings, digitization of the GEO process and products is essential to achieving this UNEA mandate. The digitization effort also aligns with UNEP’s digital transformation strategy and the UN Secretary General’s ‘Our Common Agenda’. As a first step, a user needs assessment was developed to cover five key areas of digitizing GEO’s process and products.
