GEO-7, the product of 287 multi-disciplinary scientists from 82 countries, is the most comprehensive scientific environmental assessment ever carried out. It focuses on how to tackle the global environmental crises the world is currently facing. The report shows how investing in a stable climate and healthy nature can deliver higher GDP, fewer deaths, and less poverty. It assesses two main themes: the impacts of the interlinked global environmental crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation, and pollution and waste; and how these crises can be addressed through systems transformations. GEO-7 draws on a diversity of world views and knowledge from many different sources including the natural, social and behavioural sciences, modelling, economics, as well as Indigenous Knowledge and Local Knowledges.
Speakers:
- Inger Andersen, UNEP Executive Director
