World Environment Situation Room – Work Plan 2020–2021

The World Environment Situation Room is the future United Nations Environment Programme online data and knowledge platform. It will enable users to visualize, query, access, link, and download data, information, and knowledge products regarding the world environment situation in near real time (http://wesr.unep.org). This platform will be a primary tool for the United Nations Environment Programme’s data-driven assessments, foresights, monitoring, communications, and support to United Nations country teams and related Common Country Analysis. It will also help visualize progress made regarding the environment-related Sustainable Development Goals and Multilateral Environmental Agreements. It will take the United Nations Environment Programme into the digital age and establish a leadership role in environmental data. The World Environment Situation Room will be customized to fulfil the United Nations Environment Programme’s mandates on keeping the World Environment Situation under review and fill both an important and unique niche in the emerging digital infrastructure for the planet.
