The United Nations has released a new report that states man is destroying the Earth at a quicker than expected pace. The report tracks the environmental changes the planet has undergone during the last 20 years. The changes the report discusses includes statistical data on population, climate change, energy and food security.
The Executive Director of the UN Environment Program (UNEP), Achim Steiner, is urging world leaders to take heed to the areas that the report suggests need urgent action, such as the rising build-up of greenhouse gases, the erosion of biodiversity and the increased use of natural resources, which the report says has risen 40 percent from 1992 to 2005, faster than the pace of population growth.
