Dear members of the UNECE Working Group on Environmental Monitoring and Assessment and the Joint Task Force on Environmental Statistics and Indicators and other contacts,

With kind regards

Subject: Support to the UNECE Environmental Monitoring and Assessment programme

Dear members of the Committee on Environmental Policy,

Following the successful launch of the 7th pan-European Environmental Assessment at last year’s Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference, we wish to tackle gaps in measuring and monitoring the environment in the pan-European region, as identified in the assessment. We would also like to ensure that the next pan-European assessment builds on more sound foundations in terms of data availability and the use of modern technologies, notably Earth observations.

To do so, we need your support.

UNECE Environment How can you help?

Encourage your colleagues to (i) participate in and contribute to the activities and meetings of the Working Group on Environmental Monitoring and Assessment and the Joint Task Force on Environmental Statistics and Indicators; and (ii) participate in the development and review of guidance materials such as the upcoming revised guidelines on environmental indicators.
Provide expertise in-kind, including national consultants, for example, to (i) update the 20-year-old guide on Environmental Monitoring and Reporting, for publication in 2024; and (ii) support ad-hoc expert groups to monitor emerging themes and follow up on recommendations from the pan-European environmental assessment.
Contribute financially to the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment trust fund to support (i) the implementation of activities aiming at the enhancement of environmental monitoring and information systems and reporting and assessment in the region; and (ii) the participation in meetings of experts from countries with economies in transition, access to such meetings online, the hiring of consultants and, in due course, initiation of an 8th pan-European Environmental Assessment.

To discuss these options, please contact Christine Kitzler, who manages the UNECE Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Programme (christin...@un.org).

The next session of the Working Group on Environmental Monitoring and Assessment will be held on 2 and 3 May 2023 in Geneva and online. We would welcome your participation. Please register here by 31 March 2023.
