The Global Environment Outlook presents a scientific assessment of the state of the global environment. It finds that climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, desertification, and pollution and waste are exacting a heavy toll on the planet, human well-being, and economies, already costing trillions of dollars annually. The report calls on all actors to recognize the urgency of the global environmental crises, build on progress made in recent decades, and collaborate in the co-design and implementation of integrated policies, strategies, and actions to secure a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
