The United Nations' Global Environmental Outlook, a detailed report on the state of the world's environment. The Scout Report says of it, "Divided into five
sections, the Outlook contains sections on integrating development plans
with a concern for the stability of the global environment, a retrospective
thirty-year history addressing changes in land use patterns around the
world, and a section that contains some potential policy options that might
be pursued in the future by different decision-making bodies. Perhaps most
compelling is the fourth section of the report, which is devoted to a
detailed discussion of four different policy scenarios that may emerge over
the next few decades. The report and the site will be of great interest to
those concerned with global environmental change, policy-making, and the
role of developing nations in this process. Persons wanting to read the full
report will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. [KM]"
