GEO MATTERS July 2018

A selected group of authors met at the UN Conference Centre, Bangkok to scope out the work for drafting the derivative product, GEO for Youth. The purpose of the meeting was mainly to develop the storyline, structure and deliverables of the Global GEO for Youth, report, and agree on the work plan for its preparation as well as expose young upcoming scholars and integrated environmental assessment practitioners to the global science-policy process through interaction with multidisciplinary scientists from across the world. During the three-day meeting, authors were informed of the main elements of the Global Environment Outlook main report and how these can be linked up to the GEO for Youth derivative product.
