CBAS supports the preparation and release of the Global Environmental Outlook 7
17 Dec 2025
Global Environment Outlook 7: A future we choose –Why investing in Earth now can lead to a trillion-dollar benefit for all (GEO-7) was officially released during the seventh session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7), providing strategic guidance and scientific support for the next phase of global environmental governance.
CBAS served as a key Technical Partner for GEO-7, providing critical scientific data, spatial analysis of SDGs indicators, and information products to support the report's development.
The Global Environment Outlook is the flagship global environmental assessment report published regularly by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) since 1997. The development of this edition, launched in 2022 under the theme "A Future We Choose," marks the first time the report has integrally analyzed the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. It proposes coordinated transformation pathways for five key socio-economic systems: energy, food, and others. Through innovative modeling, the report indicates that immediate action could unlock up to 20 trillion US dollars in annual returns on natural investments by 2070 while saving millions of lives. It also advocates for countries to adopt an "inclusive wealth" indicator that incorporates natural and human capital and sets clear 2030 transformation targets for critical areas.
For this report, CBAS leveraged its core competencies in monitoring and assessing global Sustainable Development Goals using Earth big data, providing substantial data and product support for the report's overall conclusions and transformation pathway analysis, thereby translating scientific information into an intuitive basis for decision-making.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized in the report: "As the Global Environment Outlook 7 reminds us: now is the time for courage and creativity." CBAS is responding to this call with concrete action through data innovation, committed to turning scientific consensus into effective action for global sustainable transformation.
Moving forward, CBAS will continue to utilize advanced scientific and technological facilities such as the SDG Big Data Platform and the Sustainable Development Science Satellite (SDGSAT-1) to deepen the monitoring and assessment of the global environment and SDGs, providing ongoing scientific support for driving systemic transformation worldwide.
