Carpathian Environment Outlook (KEO) reporting process

In early 2004, DEWA/GRID-geneva along with the Regional Office for Europe (ROE) initiated a new sub-regional reporting process, the Carpathian Environment Outlook (KEO), following a request of the Czech Minister of Environment for such an activity. The KEO report will be an integrated environment assessment (IEA) and sub-regional examination and synthesis of the environmental situation in the greater Carpathian region, that includes parts of seven countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia & Montenegro, the Slovak Republic and Ukraine).  

KEO is being carried out in a “bottom-up”, collaborative and consultative style, much like its parent products, UNEP’s series of Global Environment Outlook (GEO) assessment reports at the global level.
