1. 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, and impacts.

In this framework, the Forum of Ministers of Latin America and Caribbean (LAC), through Decision 5 of the XXII Meeting (2021), has recognized the need for a solid framework of environmental information for the entire region, based on updated, reliable, disaggregated, and open data. This consultancy is published in response to Forum’s Decision n. 5/XXII proposing the designing, development, and elaboration of a Biennial State of the Environment Report for the Forum. Following up on this decision, CAF and UNEP have established a strategic alliance to contribute to the strengthening of instruments that increase the incidence of the use of scientifically-based information in the formulation of environmental public policies at the regional level, in accordance with Decision 5 of the XXII Forum of Ministers of the Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean, in order to facilitate and accelerate
