7 Assessment and reporting related to IEA

GEO and IEAs represent a relatively recent trend in exploring environment-society interactions, but
they are not without precedent. Understanding what these precedents are, and how they relate

to IEA can help ensure that it builds upon and can learn from other processes that have a similar
purpose.

Some of the assessment and reporting practices have similar purpose and methods to IEA, but
UNEP’s GEO process itself has also been replicated on different sub-global levels. Examples of both
are provided as follows.
