The report is expected to be launched towards the end of 2020 and will be a resource for a wide range of ‘city-makers’ to navigate through complex processes such as decarbonisation, biodiversity, city-decoupling from intensive energy and resource use, and food and water security, among other issues.

They also participate in the review process.The GEO reports are produced using a participatory and consultative approach. Working groups provide advice and support to the GEO process, particularly on integrated assessment methodologies and process planning.Other United Nations agencies contribute to the GEO process, mainly by providing substantive data and information on the many environmental and related issues that fall under their individual mandates. Other institutions provide specialized expertise on cross-cutting or thematic issues. Regional centres are now responsible for almost all the regional inputs, combining top-down integrated assessment with bottom-up environmental reporting.
The GEO Year Book 2003, the first in the annual series, was launched at the 8th Special Session of the GC/GMEF on 29 March 2004.Other outputs of the GEO project include regional, sub-regional and national integrated environmental assessments, technical and other background reports, a website, products for young people ( GEO for Youth printed in 20 GEO for Youth) and a core database – the GEO Data Portal. Keeping abreast of environmental issues as they unfold, the GEO annual statement (GEO Year Book) is to be released in the beginning of every year in between the comprehensive GEO reports. This iterative process is designed to ensure that the contents are scientifically accurate and policy relevant to users in different parts of the world and with different environmental information needs.At the 22nd session of the UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GC/GEMF) in 2003, governments requested UNEP to prepare an annual Global Environment Outlook statement to highlight significant environmental events and achievements during the year. Drafts also undergo extensive peer review. During the preparation of the report, UNEP organizes consultations inviting policy makers and other stakeholders to review and comment on draft materials. Working together with the GEO Coordinating Team in Nairobi and the regions, the CCs research, write and review major parts of the report.
