ABSTRACT
The Global Environment Outlook (GEO) report has been received differently across the world’s regions, resonating more in some regions than in others. Perceptions of how relevant and novel the GEO report was depended on the status of environmental governance. Such conditions include the severity of environmental problems, environmental awareness, scientific advancement, development of the environmental legislation base, public service capacities, the existence of practitioners’ networks and the presence or lack of state of the environment (SoE) reporting initiatives.
