Benefits of investing in protection of biodiversity outweigh financial costs, says UN-backed report
UN, 7 October 2014 – Implementing measures that promote the sustainable
use of biodiversity is a worthwhile investment that will bring multiple
economic and environmental benefits to countries, according to a United
Nations-backed report released today.
The report, released at the 12th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP-12) in Pyeongchang, Republic of Korea, found that there is a gap across all countries and regions between investments needed to meet the 20 global biodiversity goals known as the Aichi targets, and the resources currently allocated to this endeavour.

New UN-backed report finds ‘alarmingly high’ levels of elephant poaching across Africa
UN, 13 June 2014 – The level of elephant poaching across Africa remains alarmingly high, according to a new United Nations-backed report release today, which also found an increase in the number of large seizures of ivory.
“Africa’s elephants continue to face an immediate threat to their survival from high-levels of poaching for their ivory and with over 20,000 elephants illegally killed last year, the situation remains dire,” said John E. Scanlon, Secretary-General of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Urgent action needed to safeguard genetic diversity of world’s forests, UN study says
UN, 3 June 2014 – Urgent action to better manage the genetic diversity
of forests – under pressure from climate change, exploitation and
conversion for other uses – is needed to ensure that the benefits they
provide will survive, the United Nations said in a first-of-its-kind report released today.
“Forests provide food, goods and services which are essential to the survival and well-being of all humanity,” Eduardo Rojas-Briales, Assistant Director-General for Forestry at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), said on the release of The State of the World's Forest Genetic Resources.
“These benefits all rely on safeguarding the rich store of the world’s forest genetic diversity – which is increasingly at risk,” he added.

Scientists: Rising Sea Levels Threaten NASA Space Centers
U.S. scientists say global warming is forcing NASA to build seawalls
near major flight and research centers along the U.S. coasts.
A report by the Union of Concerned Scientists says rising sea levels are the greatest threat to the historic Kennedy Space Center, along the Atlantic Ocean in Florida. It says other NASA facilities already have faced costly damage from erosion and hurricanes.

First UN report on antibiotic resistance reveals ‘serious threat’ to global public health. - WHO said that people can help tackle resistance...
UN, 30
April 2014 – Antibiotic resistance – when bacteria change so
antibiotics no longer work in people who need them to treat infections –
is now a major threat to public health, says a new United Nations
report released today.
The study, produced by the UN World Health Organization (WHO), is the first to look at antimicrobial resistance, including antibiotic resistance, globally, and provides the most comprehensive picture to date, incorporating data from 114 countries.

25 March 2014 – Air pollution – both indoor and outdoor – killed some 7 million people across the globe in 2012, making it the world’s largest single environmental health risk, according to new figures released today by the UN World Health Organization (WHO).
“The risks from air pollution are now far greater than previously thought or understood, particularly for heart disease and strokes,” said Maria Neira, Director of WHO’s Department for Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health.
