Transcript Towards a regular assessment & reporting process based on SEIS UNECE/WGEMA meeting 1-2 November 2012

Towards a regular assessment &
reporting process based on SEIS
UNECE/WGEMA meeting
1-2 November 2012
Ministerial Declaration
14. ….’To keep the pan-European environment under review, we
decide to establish a regular process of environmental
assessment and to develop the SEIS across the region. These
will serve multiple policy processes, including MEAs, and include
capacity-building of countries in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus,
Central Asia and South-Eastern Europe to monitor and assess
their environment. We invite EEA and its partners to develop an
outline for how these actions could be performed and to
present it to the ECE Committee on Environmental Policy.’ …

The mandate
• Keep the pan-European environment under
review
• Establish a regular process of environment
assessment
• Develop a Shared Environmental Information
System
So that SEIS gradually develops to underpin
future environment assessment and review
activities
TWO time perspectives
• Short-term: 2012-2013
• Medium/Long-term: 2014-2020
and:
• Regular monitoring & assessment of the
implementation process

Steps in the process so far
• Sept. 2011 –Astana Declaration
• Oct. 2011 – WGEMA – first ideas on implementing the
Astana mandate
• March 2012 – EEA MB – Discussing draft outline prepared
for CEP
• April 2012 – EU WPIEI – Discussing Astana follow up actions
and EU position to CEP meeting
• April-Sept. 2012 - Comments and proposals to the draft
outline
• July- onwards – Dialogue with key partners (MEAs, EU,
OECD, UNEP, RECs)
• October 2012 - Revised draft outline available for
UNECE/CEP and WGEMA
Other SEIS related activities
Capacity building
• ENP/SEIS - Workshops on SEIS/infrastructure and indicators
for both East and South (*)
• Caspian sea- Env information system (together with
UNEP/Grid) Sept.2012
• Central Asia - Aware project including SEIS national events
New SEIS projects

project (including SEIS extension); expected start 2013
• Caspian – new SEIS related project for consideration for EU
funding
Relevant SEIS events
• SEIS dedicated side event in Rio –June 2012 (attended by
UNECE, UNEP, CAREC and EEA members)
• Central Asia – EU panel on environment and climate change
(Sept. 2012) – SEIS development endorsed as priority for
cooperation in new fin. perspective 2014-2020;
• ENP/Steering Committee (21-22 Nov. Copenhagen)
• Central Asia- EU –high level meeting on env. issues (to
endorse the proposed priorities 10-11 Dec. Bishkek, tbc.)
• The first Eye on Earth user conference (4-6 March 2013,
Dublin)
SEIS Action Plan
• Develop the next SOER cycle in a consistent
way across region, using the indicators
developed with associated assessments ,
following DPSIR framework
• Underpin the indicators used in the next SOER
by regular data flows
• Streamline the activity of existing networks
towards creating building blocks in the
MDIAR(K) process for regular reporting

AQ e-Reporting ?
• A new system for reporting air quality information
• A single system for all regulatory & informative reporting
• Modernised and standards based, to make full use of computers
and the internet to deliver
Automation
Reliability / consistency
Medium to long-term savings
Enhanced information sharing
• All existing systems replaced as of 1 January 2014

SEIS ENPI - Cookbook
• A set of case studies collected from EEA
Member and Cooperating countries and
ENPI partner countries.
• A SEIS Checklist comprising a set of
questions designed to assess the status
of SEIS development and identify
possible gaps and areas for further
enhancement.
• Steps to be taken into account when
http://www.seiscookbook.net
planning SEIS implementation.
• Useful links.
List of case studies
A Case study:
• Gives light on how to translate SEIS principles into practice
• Addresses real examples of implementation (currently 25 case studies)
• Identifies a series of services/tools that can be (re)used to meet the SEIS
principles in a range of contexts
• Provides a SEIS barometer to benchmark your system / process
SEIS implementation plan – DG ENV
Inter-service consultation of a EC staff working
paper SEIS implementation plan
• Publication end 2012 (tbc.)
• Introducing SIIFs (Structured implementation
and information frameworks)
• EEA is supporting pilot SIIFs on:
• Air quality
• Urban waste water treatment
