This meeting is one of a series of expert group meetings designed to support the preparation of the Global Sustainable Development Report 2013. The chapter on assessments seeks to map the universe of assessments related to sustainable development. The chapter will map: sustainable development assessments, including their institutional set up, scientific findings and policy recommendations; science digests on cross-sectoral and cross-thematic issues, such as quantification of tipping points; and emerging issues identified by science.
