Reporting to SDGs, International Obligations and Capacity Building
SDG Reporting and International Obligations UN Environment has the formal mandate as custodian for 26 SDG Indicators. UN Environment works with countries and other UN agencies in the SDG indicator process through the Inter-agency Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDG).The SDG unit provides data on SDG indicators to the IAEG-SDG/UN Statistical Division as input into the Secretary General Progress report on SDG's. The SDG unit is responsible for the development of the metadata and methodology for Tier III SDG environmental indicators.
Building national capacity on environment statistics and economic environmental accounting UN Environment is working with the UN Statistics Division (UNSD) and all five UN Regional Commissions to address the lack of necessary environmental data and statistics for making evidence-based decisions, monitoring the SDGs and reporting on environmental agreements, including Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement. The aim of this coordinated effort is to build and strengthen environmental statistical capacity at the national level in relevant institutions such as the Ministries of Environment and the National Statistical Offices. An increased capacity to produce environmental statistics forms a foundation for the delivery of high quality information to be integrated into the SDGs reporting.

Global Environmental Monitoring Systems
Science Division, January 2018
Global Environmental Monitoring Systems in WaterThe Global Environment Monitoring System (GEMS Water) provides the world community with sound data on fresh water quality to support scientific assessments and decision-making on the subject. Surface and ground water quality monitoring data collected from the global GEMS Water monitoring network is shared through the GEM Stat information system. The Global Environment Monitoring System for freshwater (GEMS/Water) provides the world community with sound data on fresh water quality to support scientific assessments and decision-making on the subject. Surface and ground water quality monitoring data collected from the global GEMS/Water monitoring network is shared through the GEM Stat information system. GEMS/Water supports the Sustainable Development Goal for Water (SDG 6) with methodology support, data management, quality assurance, indicator calculation and capacity development.
Air Quality MonitoringThe Global Environmental Monitoring System for Air Pollution, commonly referred to as GEMS/AIR, is an urban air pollution monitoring and assessment program. It has evolved from a World Health Organization (WHO) urban air quality monitoring pilot project that started in 1973. Since 1975, WHO and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have jointly operated the programme as a component of the United Nations system wide Global Environment Monitoring System (GEMS). GEMS is a component of the UN Earth watch system.

Foresight as a scientific validated “Process” combining different methodologies and techniques
Foresight is a process, combining a diversity of methodologies and techniques, which for sake of simplicity can be aggregated in
three major categories or phases of a same foresight life-cycle: Data Analysis, Consultation, and Expert Validation.
The more consolidated and integrated the approach combining the three categories, the more robust and “valid” is likely to
become the foresight activity and its results.
It is common practice to use a myriad of techniques and approaches within the three main categories, to characterize Foresight
processes, such as Scoping Studies, Horizon-Scanning, Trend Analysis, Emerging Issues Analysis, Scenario Building, Modelling, and
Simulation.
It is also very common to use a myriad of data sources to conduct the data analysis, consultation and expert validation, such as
scientometric data (bibliometric and patent data), webmetric data (data on the web), another sources of data (real-time, remote-
sensing, Geo-referenced data, earth observation data,…), as well as naturally data from consultations (survey, questionnaires, expert
interviews, usage data….), and finally scientific papers and reports directly produced for experts during validation.

Applications of Foresight in the Science Division
I - Foresight: Permanent and Dynamic Early Warning (PERMANENT FORESIGHT)
Dynamic Foresight processes attempt to identify particularly based upon data analysis of scientometric
and bibliometric data, big data repositories such as geospatial and earth observation data centers, large
and dynamic knowledge bases, as well as combined with expert analysis, topic related trends, with a view
to provide permanent support for early warning and timely decision making.
(Example: GEAS in the Past and Current Foresight Briefs, edited monthly)
II - Foresight: Frontiers and Emerging issues (ONE YEAR CYCLES FORESIGHT)
Based upon a selection of topics of emerging issues, an analysis is conducted to provide a robust
perspective of the likely scenarios of evolution of these topic areas. A combination of data analysis, with
survey techniques and expert analysis constitutes the usual methodology for providing such outlook and
assessment for the scenarios of evolution identified.
(Example: Frontiers, edited annually)
III - Foresight: Long Term Futures (LONG-TERM 5 YEARS AND LONGER FORESIGHT)
A long term study is conducted, combining data analysis, usually scientometric, bibliometric and patent
analysis, Delphi methods and similar techniques, scenario building and modelling, altogether with a large
consultation (survey and other techniques) of expert and expert analysis, to provide a long term
perspective on the evolution of an area or specialty of policy concern (such as broadly, the Environment.

Marine PlasticsThe global production of plastics has increased from 1.5 million tons in 1950s to about 300 million tons currently, at an average rate of 4 per cent per annum and is expected to continue growing (Boucher and Friot 2017). About 50 per cent of the plastics produced is for single use, and the literature estimates that 8 million tons (2.5 per cent) of the plastic produced are leaked into the oceans annually (Plastics Europe 2016). China is the dominant producer at 27.8 per cent of world production (Plastics Europe 2016).
