One Planet, Many People: Atlas of Our Changing Environment
by United Nations Environment Programme

"An atlas of environmental change compiled by the United Nations reveals some of the dramatic transformations that are occurring to our planet.

It compares and contrasts satellite images taken over the past few decades with contemporary ones. These highlight in vivid detail the striking make-over wrought in some corners of the Earth by deforestation, urbanisation and climate change.

The United Nations Environment Programme (Unep) produced One Planet Many People: Atlas of Our Changing Environment in collaboration with other agencies such as the US Geological Survey and the US space agency (Nasa)." ---BBC News

Features include:

• a collection of spectacular "before and after" satellite image pairs on various themes for 80 sites around the world
• over 30 environmental case studies supported by narratives, images and ground photographs
• A compilation of recently released environmental maps.

"One Planet, Many People: Atlas of Our Changing Environment demonstrates how our growing number of people and their consumption patterns are shrinking our natural resource base. The challenge is how do we satisfy human needs without compromising the health of ecosystems. One Planet Many People is an additional wake-up call to this need. "
--Ola Ullsten, Former Prime Minister of Sweden
