"What we are seeing today is a total disaster, no country has met its targets to protect nature. We are losing biodiversity at an unprecedented rate. If current levels (of
destruction) go on we will reach a tipping point very soon. The future of the planet now depends on governments taking action in the
next few years.”- Ahmed Djoghlaf Secretary-general of UN Convention on Biological Diversity

Presently
• Have a conference• Decide on problem• Identify solution• Create protocol/amendment• Signature• Action?
![Page 20: By Jenny Liu introducing UN role on Environment. Contents 1 Environmental problems and current UN efforts 2 Issues with current UN system 3Solutions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e735503460f94b73761/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
…The UN System…
How could it improve?
![Page 21: By Jenny Liu introducing UN role on Environment. Contents 1 Environmental problems and current UN efforts 2 Issues with current UN system 3Solutions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e735503460f94b73761/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What is the progress?
Kyoto Protocol• 33/191 parties had improvement stats• 12/33 above 1%Montreal Protocol• What happened?Invasive Species? Biodiversity? Bioaccumulation?
![Page 22: By Jenny Liu introducing UN role on Environment. Contents 1 Environmental problems and current UN efforts 2 Issues with current UN system 3Solutions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e735503460f94b73761/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Example: Kyoto
• Below 5% below 1990 before 2012 government
• Take notice… that’s just towards the government
• But… 94% emission comes from the people• ???

UNEP is loosely organized?
According to Fox News, a study reports that UNEP – Doesn’t adequately check out the credentials of its partners,
especially in the private sector; – Doesn’t even keep adequate records of who it is partnering
with, or how well they do at the projects they promise to accomplish;
– Has failed to keep track of millions of dollars raised by some partners, and passed on by UNEP to others outside the normal U.N. financial accounting system;
– Frequently fails to include “essential” information on financial documents;
– Lets officials who don’t have the proper authorization sign off on payouts;
– And has sometimes used high-minded partnership arrangements to cover purely commercial ventures.

Why is the issue important?
What happened?What action is taken?
How many people know?
… the future of the planet now depends on governments taking action in the next few years.”
