Launch of
GEO 5:
UN’s Most Comprehensive Assessment of the Global Environment
Report
Analyzes State of World Environment and Progress Towards International Goals
Rio - 6
June 2012
The launch
of GEO‐5 comes right after 'World Environment Day', whose theme is ‘Green
Economy‐‐Does it Include You?’ Together they are part of the build up to
Rio+20, taking place later in June, where world leaders will meet to scale‐up
and accelerate a transition to a Green Economy in the context of sustainable
development and poverty eradication.
GEO‐5 is
aimed at underlining the science in order to remind world leaders of the
urgency to act on behalf of seven billion people, rising to over nine billion
by 2050.
The
findings of GEO‐5 are particularly timely and relevant in the lead‐up to the UN
Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) later in June 2012. Prominent
panelists from the region will offer different perspectives based on their
areas of expertise. UNEP’s Executive Director, Achim Steiner, will launch the
global report from Rio on 6 June at 4.00PM Geneva time.
