United Nations (2015). Millennium Development Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability: Target 7.B: Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss | Country: Faroe Islands | Series: Terrestrial and marine areas protected, sq. km., 2012. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 072-007-002. Dataset: Presents indicators of progress toward reducing biodiversity loss, and achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss. Indicators include the proportion of fish stocks within safe biological limits, the proportion of total water resources used, the proportion of terrestrial and marine areas protected, and the proportion of species threatened with extinction. Data available varies by nation. Heads of State and/or Government of the Member States of the United Nations (UN) gathered at UN Headquarters in New York to participate in the Millennium Summit on 6 to 8 September 2000. The Summit was intended to provide an opportunity for nations to agree on a process for fundamental review of the role of, and challenges facing the United Nations in the new century. In advance of the Millennium Summit, on 3 April 2000, the Secretary-General presented his report "We the peoples: The role of the United Nations in the twenty-first century" (A/54/2000) in which he identified challenges facing the international community and put forward an action plan for addressing them. As a companion event, and further to the Secretary-General’s recommendation, civil society organizations organized and held on 22-26 May 2000, a "Millennium Forum" was held during which the Millennium Forum Declaration and Agenda for Action. The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty rates to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by 189 of the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest. The statistics presented here measure progress toward meeting the Millennium Development Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability. The data and analyses are the product of the work of the Inter-agency and Expert Group (IAEG) on MDG Indicators, coordinated by the UN Statistics Division. Category: Natural Resources and Environment, International Relations and Trade Source: United Nations The United Nations (UN) was founded in 1945 after WWII by 51 countries committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, and promoting social progress, better living standards, and human rights. The UN has 4 main purposes: to keep peace throughout the world; to develop friendly relations among nations; to help nations work together to improve the lives of poor people, to conquer hunger, disease and illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other’s rights and freedoms; and to be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations to achieve these goals. The powers vested in its founding Charter allow the UN to take action on a wide range of issues, and provide a forum for its 193 Member States to express their views, through the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council and other bodies and committees. http://www.un.org/ Subject: Natural Resources, Social Development, Biodiversity, Environmental Protection, Economic Development
