- Summary
- "What are the major regional and global environmental problems, both current and emerging? What are the major demographic, social, and economic driving forces behind the observed problems and trends? Where are we heading if we continue doing "business as usual"? Where do we want to be heading? What is being done to address environmental concerns and what can be done in the future to move forward on the path of sustainable development?" "The Global Environment Outlook (GEO) Project examines crucial questions such as these through a participatory environmental assessment process that incorporates regional views and perceptions and builds consensus on priority issues and actions. The GEO process also provides an effective mechanism for international environmental policy setting, engaging experts and decision-makers from industrial and developing worlds and from international agencies as equal partners." "The GEO process includes a biennial report series that reviews the state of the world's environment. This volume - GEO-1 - is the first product of the GEO Project. The principal focus of GEO-1 is a review of major environmental issues from a regional perspective, and an initial evaluation of policy responses that address regional priority concerns. It also takes a first glimpse at a possible future using quantitative modelling techniques."--BOOK JACKET.
