Published to coincide with the Fourth United Nations Environmental Assembly, the Summary for Policymakers of the sixth Global Environment Outlook provides an evidence-based source of environmental information to help policymakers in government, local authorities and businesses achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Since the first edition in 1997, there have been many examples of environmental improvement, especially where problems have been well identified, manageable, and where regulatory and technological solutions have been readily available. Nevertheless, the overall condition of the global environment has deteriorated and urgent action, involving ambitious and effective policies, is necessary to arrest and reverse this situation. This Summary for Policymakers answers key policy questions by assessing the drivers of environmental change, the scale and effectiveness of policy responses, potential pathways for achieving sustainability goals in an increasingly complex world, and the data and information that can support the decision-making process. Also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

"La crisis climática, resultado del proceso incesante de generación y acumulación de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera por actividad humana diferenciada y cuya variabilidad climática se intensifica y persiste con impactos impredecibles, sumada a la pandemia actual por la Covid19, desnudan las injusticias que persisten, ya que la pandemia, en razón a su carácter incierto, está radicalizando las diferentes formas de dominio que la sociedad hipercibernética concentra, afectando de manera directa e indirecta los derechos ambientales de los seres humanos y demás seres en la Naturaleza. Los aportes del Grupo de Investigación en Derechos Colectivos y Ambientales – GIDCA, presentados en este libro que lleva por título Derechos Ambientales y afectaciones en tiempos de crisis ambiental y pandemia, corresponden a la primera parte del Informe de Investigación 20192020 (el libro que recoge la segunda parte es Afectaciones a Derechos Ambientales en tiempos de crisis climática y pandemia: algunos estudios de caso), responden a los diversos resultados del proceso investigativo en este período y expresan la idea según la cual, la excepcionalidad que se predica con ocasión de la ocurrencia y vigencia de la pandemia originada por el coronavirus no es el surgimiento de esta situación, sino su persistencia, en la que un agente biológico desnuda totalmente la crisis ambiental y civilizatoria que lleva ya muchas décadas de imposición por las medidas de fuerza del mercado en la era del capitaloceno. Estas medidas profundizan desigualdades, discriminaciones, exclusiones y marginaciones en contra de la vida y la dignidad ambiental es decir, tanto de la vida humana, como ecosistémica, requiriendo exigencias de responsabilidad y deberes de protección ambiental, una reconceptualización de la educación ambiental en estricto sentido, debates sobre los sujetos interculturales, los límites a las prácticas de la fracturación hidráulica y elementos de diálogos interculturales entre campesinos e indígenas como idea de respuesta a conflictos en los territorios."

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

From the Holocaust in Europe to the military dictatorships of Latin America to the enduring violence of settler colonialism around the world, genocide has been a defining experience of far too many societies. In many cases, the damaging legacies of genocide lead to continued violence and social divisions for decades. In others, however, creative responses to this identity-based violence emerge from the grassroots, contributing to widespread social and political transformation. Resonant Violence explores both the enduring impacts of genocidal violence and the varied ways in which states and grassroots collectives respond to and transform this violence through memory practices and grassroots activism. By calling upon lessons from Germany, Poland, Argentina, and the Indigenous United States, Resonant Violence demonstrates how ordinary individuals come together to engage with a violent past to pave the way for a less violent future.
