À l’heure où les gouvernements s’apprêtent à se rassembler à Bali, en Indonésie, pour discuter de l’avenir du Protocole de Kyoto, le Rapport mondial sur le développement humain du Programme des Nations Unies pour le Développement a lancé un avertissement pour exhorter le monde à se pencher sur l’impact du changement climatique sur le développement ; il pourrait engendrer un recul sans précédent en matière de réduction de la pauvreté, de nutrition, de santé et d’éducation.
Le Rapport a été présenté à midi (GMT) le 27 novembre 2007. Parmi les personnes assistant à l’événement figuraient le Président brésilien Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Leire Pajin, Secrétaire d’État espagnole à la coopération internationale, Kemal Derviş, Administrateur du PNUD, et Kevin Watkins, auteur principal du Rapport et Directeur du Bureau du Rapport mondial sur le développement humain.

One Planet, One Chance: an exhibition
Palais des Nations, Genève, Suisse
An exhibit of giant black beanbags (the Nine Planets Wanted! Installation), commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and originally designed for an international audience of decision and policy-makers gathering at the United Nations General Assembly in 2007, allows visitors to physically experience abstract data related to global warming and take measure of the inverse relationship between responsibility for climate change and vulnerability to its impact. Each of the bags represents a comparison of global carbon emissions among a select group of countries, from the United States to Burkina Faso. It draws key facts and figures from the UNDP Human Development Report 2007/2008 in an unprecedented and provocative way.
