Presented Global Environment Outlook 7: A future we choose

The Executive Summary of the seventh edition of UNEP's Global Environment Outlook (GEO-7) was presented today in Nairobi, where the seventh United Nations General Assembly for the Environment (UNEA-7) is underway.

GEO-7, UNEP's flagship document, assesses the state of the environment at the global, regional, and national levels, highlighting interconnected crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, pollution, and waste. The report integrates scientific data, forecasting scenarios, and socioeconomic analyses, proposing solutions based on the circular economy, energy transition, and sustainable food systems.

287 scientists from various disciplines from 82 countries participated in the drafting process, supported by over 800 reviewers to ensure scientific accuracy. Twelve Italian authors are among the authors, including three young scientists who participated in GEO-7 as fellows.

The process was guided by the Multidisciplinary Expert Scientific Advisory Group (MESAG), a 30-member Scientific Committee, which ensured scientific credibility and the integration of national and global evidence. Thirty-five fellows, scientists under 35, helped connect science and impact. The experts covered diverse fields, from climate science and biodiversity to pollution, providing a solid scientific basis for global policy decisions.

Lorenzo Ciccarese of ISPRA played a central role in the process that led to the drafting of GEO-7, chairing the Open Ended Meetings and participating in the MESAG.
