Global Environment Outlook
GEO-6: Healthy Planet, Healthy People
Cambridge UP, 2019
Aperçu
The UN Global Environment Outlook represents the sum total of knowledge about the state of the natural world and the people in it.
Recommendation
The sixth Global Environment Outlook report by the United Nations Environment Programme emphasizes that human health is inextricably linked to a healthy planet. Its academic, neutral tone doesn’t disguise the fact that the Earth is in danger and that urgent action must happen now to curb the worst – perhaps unsurvivable – effects of climate change and resource degradation. The report outlines what must be done – rapidly and globally.
