Good environmental information is essential for effective sustainable development policy-making and action planning. Accurate information increases the chances for correct decisions. This does not guarantee a healthier environment, but its absence seriously impedes decisions which would lead to a sustainable future. Ideally, local, sectoral, corporate, national, regional, and global reports should complement one other, using, for example, common spatial units and databases. In reality comprehensive and integrated information is often not available for today's decision makers. The Source Book is designed to help to harmonize environmental reporting by encouraging the development of standard methods, practices, and terminology. It evaluates and compares alternative approaches for the development, production, and dissemination of environmental information, and combines the collective experience of environmental reporting, covering all aspects of reporting from user needs to data supply.

Published to coincide with the Fourth United Nations Environmental Assembly, UN Environment's sixth Global Environment Outlook calls on decision makers to take bold and urgent action to address pressing environmental issues in order to protect the planet and human health. By bringing together hundreds of scientists, peer reviewers and collaborating institutions and partners, the GEO reports build on sound scientific knowledge to provide governments, local authorities, businesses and individual citizens with the information needed to guide societies to a truly sustainable world by 2050. GEO-6 outlines the current state of the environment, illustrates possible future environmental trends and analyses the effectiveness of policies. This flagship report shows how governments can put us on the path to a truly sustainable future - emphasising that urgent and inclusive action is needed to achieve a healthy planet with healthy people. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This guide is intended to provide municipal staff and community participants with practical information on initiating a state of the environment (SOE) reporting process in their community. The first chapter provides some background on the SOE process, including what a SOE report is, the benefits of a SOE report, who such reports are for, and who has already prepared a SOE report. The second chapter offers information on defining the scope of the SOE report, selecting the best reporting process, getting the public involved, and establishing resource needs. The third chapter explains the fundamental components of a SOE report: its organization, data and information gathering, and how to select suitable indicators for the reporting framework. The fourth chapter identifies some problems in SOE report preparation and suggests solutions. The final chapter gives ideas on marketing the final report, evaluating the report and the reporting process, and follow-up strategies. The appendix contains a list of over 500 measures, parameters, statistics, or variables that can be used to indicate something of significance for a SOE report. It also lists municipal SOE reports completed or under way in Canada.
