UNDP Human Development Report 2007 2008 - Encyclopedia of Earth: "Introduction Cover of the UNDP Human Development Report 2007/2008. (Source: UNDP)The United Nations Development Programme Human Development Report 2007/2008 was released on November 27, 2007.
The report's title 'Fighting climate change: Human solidarity in a divided world' reflects the consensus of its authors who conclude that the greatest threat to the future of human development lies in the potential consequences of oncoming climate change.
Findings The Report documents that that climate change is not just a future scenario. Increased exposure to droughts, floods and storms is already destroying opportunity and reinforcing inequality. Meanwhile, there is now overwhelming scientific evidence that the world is moving towards the point at which irreversible ecological catastrophe becomes unavoidable. Business-as-usual climate change points in a clear direction: unprecedented reversal in human development in our lifetime, and acute risks for our children and their grandchildren."/.../
