The World Environment Situation Room (WESR): A Federated Data System to support the SDGs and post- UNEP@50 Agenda

This strategy and conceptual approach outline how UNEP will enhance the development of the World Environment Situation Room (WESR), headquartered in Nairobi, as a usercentric, demand-driven platform designed to meet the challenges of the next 50 years. It will facilitate access to real-time data, information and analytics via a federated data system to support keeping the environment under review and to enhance countries capacity to monitor and achieve the environmental targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Multi-Lateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs).
