Unep geo 5 report
“The things that people said they cared most about fell either into a problem that worried them or a solution that excited them.” One thing he noted for North America was that people tend to have strong reactions to environmental issues, one way or the other. The GEO-6 “does not tell the regions what they should do, it asks them what’s on their minds and invites them to document those things,” said Marc Levy, a coordinating lead author and deputy director of the Center for International Earth Science Information Network at Columbia University. “People care deeply about where they live and the environment in which they raise their children.” “While people are concerned with global environmental problems, politics and the environment are really local,” Daniel Reifsnyder, the deputy assistant secretary for the Bureau of Oceans at the U.S. The ultimate goal of GEO is to improve the interface between science and policy for innovative, more effective environmental management. Jason Jabbour, a regional coordinator for the UNEP Regional Office for North America, encouraged readers to look “beyond the book.” Rather than a static report, Jabbour characterized the GEO-6 process as a “venue to create meaningful dialogue,” making valuable data publically accessible, creating a peer-reviewed baseline level of knowledge, and demonstrating progress and challenges to the world. On June 21, a two-panel discussion with four lead authors from the report and key policymakers met at the Wilson Center to release and discuss the Regional Assessment for North America, which covers the United States and Canada. The GEO-6 will combine six regional reports into a single assessment in mid-2017 with individual regional reports currently available in draft form. This is the sentiment behind the United Nations Environment Program’s process for the latest iteration of its flagship assessment, the Global Environmental Outlook 6 (GEO-6). With so much focus on global environmental problems, many may wonder how their region is faring more specifically.
