Bearing in mind that the Global Environment Outlook is the flagship recurrent environmental assessment report of the United Nations Environment Programme,

Assembly;
2. Also requests the Executive Director to schedule the negotiations on the summary for policymakers at least six weeks in advance of the fourth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly and to present the sixth Global Environment Outlook
