Annual Global Environmental Outlook reports

The international community must also focus on stemming man made environmental change. Environmental change is distinct from climate change, although there is a tendency on the part of some enthusiasts to blur the distinction and turn global warming into a blame all phenomenon.

65. The Global Change System for Analysis, Research and Training (START) was established to provide a conceptual framework for interconnected regional networks for research and training on global environmental change, its causes and effects.

(ii) Global change

Climate change is increasingly recognized as one of the transnational challenges with the greatest environmental, economic, and security implications, and a powerful global environmental movement constantly highlights its importance.

24. Work during the biennium has concentrated primarily on two main areas (a) environmental and resource management local and regional sustainability and (b) global environmental change and multilateral action.

The global study included a global environmental data and information systems knowledge base, global lessons learned for the design of environmental information systems and a conceptual design document for AGEDI.

Because of its dependence on a healthy global environment, the tourism industry is acutely sensitive to environmental change and degradation, including from chemicals, wastes, increased pressure on scarce water resources and climate change effects.
