The GEO Year Book 2006 is the third annual survey of the changing global environment produced by the United Nations Environment Programme , in collaboration with many world experts in environmental research and action.

The Year Book includes global and regional overviews. It highlights the linkages between environmental well-being, vulnerability  and poverty; records recent findings on the value of ecosystem services; and describes new research findingson polar and ocean changes that may prove a turning point in the urgency of our awareness and response to global change.

A special feature focus analyzes the environmental, socio-economic and public health impacts of energy-related air pollution. The emerging scientific and policy challenges of crop production in a changing climate and fish and shellfish farming without damage to marine ecosystems are examined in detail.

The GEO Indicators provide an up-to-date, graphic snapshot of key trends in managing our planetary habitat. Essential, informative and authoritative reading for anyone with a role oran interest in our changing environment.
