ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the multiple geographic manifestations of the Global Environment Outlooks (GEO) are explored, along with how they related to the main ongoing global process at their time of publication, and how or if the varying levels of reporting informed each other over the years. For example, calls from regional forums such as the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) in Africa (U NEP, 2002f) and the Forum of Ministers of Environment in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) (UNEP, 2004a) to develop comprehensive regional GEO reports helped to spread the methodology and products throughout those regions. This led to further calls for GEOs at the subregional, national and even municipal levels.
