Assessing the Health of the Environment III
November 21, 2005
Robert T. Watson chair, Climate Change Panel, United Nations

Robert Watson, chief scientist and director of the Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development Network of the World Bank, and Chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, explores the implications of the 2005 report of the UN Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. In part two of this forum, Watson asks what the future of the earth looks like if current climate trends continue, what we have we done to change the global climate, and how we can undo the negative changes we have made to our environment.
