OECD ENVIRONMENTAL OUTLOOK TO 2050: The Consequences of Inaction
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050 projects demographic and economic trends over the next four decades, using joint modelling by the OECD and the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. It assesses the impacts of these trends on the environment if we do not introduce more ambitious policies to better manage natural assets. It then examines some of the policies that could change that picture for the better. This Outlook focuses on four urgent areas: climate change, biodiversity, water and the health impacts of pollution. It concludes that urgent action is needed now to avoid significant costs of inaction, both in economic and human terms.
