Summary
The environment is an essential component of the Millennium Development Goals. The Millennium Summit's Declaration dedicated a section to environmental protection, making explicit reference to climate change, desertification, biodiversity, and forest and water management. One of the goals in the Millennium Development is to mainstream the environment in policy and programs, reversing the loss of environmental resources, and improving access to environmental services. The centrality of the environment to the Millennium Development Goals is reinforced by its strong linkages to the rest of the six goals. This booklet explores these linkages. However, strong direct connections can be found with only some but not all of the goals--for example, HIV/AIDS. Additional efforts are needed in analyzing the linkages among the goals and developing a comprehensive and cost-effective plan to achieve them.
