State of Environment Report Guidelines

National SoE Reports give information about environmental and social conditions, trends and
pressures for the country, and the surrounding seas. The SoE reporting process forms the basis for
effective environmental and sustainable development planning by examining the current condition of
environmental indicators influenced by national, regional, and global pressures.
The report uses state and trend indicators to evaluate how these “state” conditions impact not only the
environment, but also the economy and the livelihoods of a country’s citizens. The term “environment”
is used holistically to include biophysical, social, and economic indicators.
An SoE Report should be completed every five years.
