The fisheries sector is in crisis. Inappropriate subsidies to the fishing industry are a key factor responsible for worldwide fisheries depletion, overcapitalization and ecosystem degradation.

Natural systems that support economies, lives and livelihoods across the planet are at risk of rapid degradation and collapse unless there is swift, radical and creative action to conserve and sustainably use the variety of life on Earth.

The third edition of Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO-3), produced by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), confirms that the world has failed to meet its target to achieve a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. This Outlook shows that efforts to date have not been sufficient to reduce significantly the rate of biodiversity loss and analyses why.

Our knowledge of the oceans is increasing rapidly, as more powerful tools for exploration and exploitation make it easier to locate valuable resources, such as fish stocks, oil and gas reserves, or sites for wind and hydropower schemes.

A new report by the NATF sheds some light on the progress of North American UNEP FI members in promoting environmental engagement among their institutions. The report was launched by a Scotiabank-hosted Expert Workshop in Toronto, Canada, on March 31, 2011.

Overview of employee engagement activities undertaken by UNEP FI members across the world

Le climat terrestre dépend de manière cruciale de la composition de l’atmosphère, et notamment de la concentration de gaz à effet de serre qui augmentent la quantité de chaleur solaire retenue par la Terre. Parmi ces gaz, les deux plus importants sont le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) et le méthane (CH4). Intervenant dans le cycle du carbone, ces deux gaz sont naturellement présents dans l’atmosphère, mais leur concentration a considérablement augmenté en conséquence des activités humaines, tout particulièrement depuis l’industrialisation.

The report, "Environment Outlook in the Amazonia - GEO Amazonia", the main product of the assessment for the Amazon Basin that has been implemented by UNEP and the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO), with technical help of Universidad de Pacifico (UoP) and the project's Technical Committee, which is consisted of leading organizations and institutions from all eight Amazonian countries, and those that are known for their technical expertise over Amazonian environmental and socio-economic issues.
