Global Environment Monitoring Systems and Early Warning for the Environment

The Global Environment Monitoring Systems and Early Warning for the Environment Unit (GEMS-EWE) provide innovative monitoring services on the state of nature & biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change, and their cascading risks, covering risk sources at the upstream to midstream state of the environment, and end-of-pipe monitoring of solutions and investment enablers needed to drive solutions uptake. This is to help the world community at the national, regional, and global levels access early warning data and assessments required to inform science and data-based policy decisions and investments to forestall and minimise the occurrence of rapid and slow onset risks arising from the triple planetary crises and ensure the translation of early warning into early action.
