| description |
From forests, fisheries, and coral
reefs, to agricultural land and mineral deposits, human
societies depend for their survival upon healthy ecosystems
and the sustainable use of these natural resources. This
principle underpins the eight Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) that the international community is committed to
achieving by 2015. Without a sustainable environmental
policy, efforts to reduce poverty, hunger, and child
mortality cannot be enduring. Achieving environmental
sustainability presents major challenges. The Millennium
Ecosystem Assessment, 2005, and the Task Force on
Environmental Sustainability (UN Millennium Project, 2005)
showed recently that the problems of environmental
degradation and biodiversity loss require urgent action.
This report addresses this shortcoming and suggests two new
tools for policymakers to measure environmental
sustainability and two new targets to meet. It also calls
for more research into better ways of valuing environmental
services such as pollination, maintenance of soil nutrients,
and water purification. |
