Purpose.


The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.


The UNEP Latin America and the Caribbean Office (LACO), located in Panama City, works closely with the 33 countries of the region and its activities are integrated into the Medium-Term Strategy and the Programme of Work approved by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).

Since 1995, UNEP has been conducting an ambitious integrated environmental assessment project known as GEO (Global Environment Outlook).

GEO reports have an established methodology to detect trends in the state of the environment and to monitor progress towards the achievement of environmental policy targets.

The GEO methodology employs a matrix of the Driver Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) indicators to answer these questions as an analytical instrument that permits factors that act on the environment to be organized and grouped in a logical manner.


In addition, other achievements around environmental information, such as the recent Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean, known as the Escazú Agreement, have laid the groundwork for the development of solid environmental information systems that directly reach out to citizens, who are increasingly eager for this information.

This context provides an opportunity to move forward in strengthening environmental information networks at the regional level to increase and facilitate the development of capacities and tools that make it possible to measure and investigate the state of the environment, as well as to identify trends, pressures
