2011 Human Development Report

Titled "Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All,” the new report from the UN Development Programme (UNDP) highlights that equity and sustainability are inextricably linked and that if bold actions are not taken, environmental damage, including climate change effects, can slow or reverse development progress made in recent years. Among the findings, it also forecasts that inaction to curb environmental degradation could impact food prices and reverse development efforts, whil noting that half of all malnutrition in the word is due to environmental factors, such as water pollution.
