Integration: UNEP Live, Assessments, IRIS

Indicator Reporting Information System

• The IRIS aims to help government ministries responsible for reporting on national, regional and global obligations, to collect, analyze and publish quality assured environmental information in a timely manner

• The IRIS enables evidence-based, timely decision-making

Indicator Reporting Information System

Dashboard: provides a graphical snap-shot of key data/indicators that together

highlight, in a quick, easy way, the state and trends of the environment.

Datasources: users can upload data so they are available for multiple reporting needs.

This is the starting point for reporting.

Indicator Workbooks can be generated using formulae’s and multiple datasets and

Indicator Instances (chart, map, values) saved for use in reporting

Reports allow users to generate reports, using reporting templates, that bring in relevant

datasets and indicators available in the IRIS.

The Administration menu option is not available to all users. Administrators have the

option to add new users and upload reporting templates.
