World Environment Situation Room – Work Plan 2020-2021

The World Environment Situation Room (WESR) is the future United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on-line 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 UNEP’s data-driven assessments, foresights, monitoring, communications, and support to UN country teams and related Common Country Analysis (CCA). It will also help visualize progress made regarding the environment-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). It will take UNEP into the digital age and establish a leadership role on environmental data. WESR will be customized to fulfil UNEP’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.
