“The fifth annual Global Monitoring Report on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has been released. With the sub- title, Environment—Agenda for Inclusive and Sustainable Development, the report stresses the link between environment and development and calls for urgent action on climate change. Released by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the report warns that developing countries stand to suffer the most from climate change and the degradation of natural resources. It further warns that most countries will fall short on achieving the eight goals of the MDGs by the due date of 2015.”
