| dc.description | The GEO for Cities is moving on to its final stage. All the comments from the last and final review period have been addressed. The whole report is in the process of UNEPs review and it was agreed that the second order draft made an improvement compared to the first one. The Co-chairs have started to work on their messages and the information for back and front matters were prepared by the Secretariat. Several calls with authors and graphic designers were organized to discuss potential figures in each chapter. A proposed cover for this report was also shared with co-chairs for comments. The final version will be delivered to Advisory Committee in mid-May for final internal review. After this review, authors will address the high-level comments and the copy editor will be involved to help clean up the report. The next steps will involve completing the figures for each chapter, starting layout process, requesting joint forward from the Executive Directors of both UNEP and UN Habitat. The launch date is still in the discussion with Advisory Committee and will be provided at a later date. | en_US |
