    between poverty eradication and environmental
    degradation.
  • Kofi Annan proposes 5 key areas of particular
    focus
  • water, energy, health, agriculture and
    bio-diversity
  • (WEHAB )

WEHAB
  • Water
  • We should be able to help at least one billion
    people without drinking water and two billion
    without sanitation.
  • Energy
  • Electricity and other modern energy services
    should reach the more than two billion without
    them, while reducing over-consumption, promoting
    renewable energy and addressing climate change
    through a ratified Kyoto Protocol.

WEHAB
  • Health
  • Halt the deaths of three million people each
    year from air pollution, addressing effects of
    toxic and hazardous materials, and lower the
    incidence of malaria and African guinea
    worm-spread through polluted water and poor
    sanitation.
  • Agriculture
  • Assure protection to two thirds of the worlds
    agricultural lands affected by land degradation
    by reversing it.

WEHAB
  • Biodiversity
  • Build a new ethic of global stewardship,
    challenging processes that have destroyed about
    half of the worlds tropical rainforest and
    mangroves, threatened more than two thirds of the
    worlds coral reefs and decimated the planets
    fisheries.
