Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI), Environment Agency Abu Dhabi, United Nations Environment Programme and The Center for Environment and Development for Arab Region and Europe (CEDARE) are organizing training workshop on Integrated Environmental Assessment (IEA).
The workshop focuses on the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) methodology used to develop a State of the Environment Report (SOER) which aims to provide a greater understanding of how experts and Institutions can best integrate the National Reporting Toolkit (NRT) in the future.
The National Reporting Toolkit (NRT) is an online system, using templates to generate reports, which will increase the ease with which countries generate, verify and publish data, information and knowledge on the State of the Environment. The web-based system will display information related to nationally relevant needs and issues across environmental, social and economic domains. Phase 1 of this project, focused on Abu Dhabi, is building a proof of concept for what should be a highly replicable and scalable system that can be used by other countries at the national, regional and global level over the subsequent phases of the project.
