The Fourth Cycle of the UNECE Environmental Performance Reviews (EPRs) was adopted by the Committee on Environmental Policy (CEP) in 2020 and endorsed by Ministers in Nicosia in 2022.
In October 2022, CEP took note of activities to prepare for the Fourth Cycle and invited the Expert Group on EPRs to prepare additional guidance on the conduct of the Fourth Cycle for the consideration of CEP at its 28th session on 1–3 November 2023.
The survey analyzed in the present document was intended to collect views from national coordinators of EPRs in beneficiary countries, CEP Members and observers, Members of the Expert Group on EPRs and regular authors of chapters. The survey was structured around EPR themes (with one or more themes covered in each chapter), chapters and recommendations. It also allowed the respondent to share other information pertinent for the conduct of the Fourth Cycle. Sixty-five respondents completed the survey.
