In select cases, however, the team undertakes primary
responsibility for delivering a product. The most signifi-
cant example from 2011 is the collaboration with UNEP’s
Division of Early Warning and Assessment (DEWA) on
production of the fifth edition of their flagship report, the
Global Environment Outlook (GEO 5)
, due for launch in
connection with the World Environment Day in June 2012.
In addition to the intensive involvement of the entire team
in this complex publication exercise, the partnership with
DEWA also extends to implementation of an extensive
programme of active outreach, which will be implemented
up to and beyond the Rio+20 Conference in June 2012.
