‘OUR EARTH, OUR STORY’
The Global Environment Outlook is produced periodically by UN Environment and gives a broad outline of where the global environment is heading. Five editions of this report have been published and the sixth is being prepared. Assessments of the state of the environment in different regions have been produced as part of this preparation. The Regional Assessment for Asia Pacific is one of them. A youth version of this report is under development. To make this youth-oriented report accessible to a wider audience, UN Environment is organizing an animation and comic competition.
