dc.description | 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. | en_US |
