UNESCO-SCOPE Policy Briefs Series

The series focuses on emerging and critical environmental issues. Each policy brief builds on the contributions of experts at international workshops to review current knowledge, highlight trends and controversies, and open perspectives for policy planners, decision makers and stakeholders in the community. The series was launched in 2006 by UNESCO and SCOPE; UNEP also partners in its publication.
