Syntheses of Air Pollution and Climate as well as Megacities in the Coastal Zone
Absrtact |
The population on Earth has now exceeded 6 billion and 40 –
60% of that live within 100 km of the coasts. In view of the
pressure on Earth the International Geosphere Biosphere
Programme (IGBP) has initiated two syntheses, namely the “Air
Pollution and Climate – A Synthesis for Policy Makers” and
“Megacities in the Coastal Zone”. The Environmental Protection
Administration Executive Yuan (Taiwan supported these syntheses
and produced two reports.
These findings have been presented at the Planet Under
Pressure Meeting held in London on 26-29 March, 2012, and
hopefully would become the reference material for the Rio+20
summit meeting.
