State Of Our Earth, Presented in Graphics

BBC has done a great job in reporting UN's latest Global Environment Outlook report, So even I can understand it at a glance! ;)
According to same report our long-term problems including climate change, pollution, access to clean water, and the threat of mass extinctions are being met with "a remarkable lack of urgency".
This very extensive analysis points out our problems and solutions. As a Planet, we can improve the state of the planet!

Update: Sorry for forgetting to add the link!
Go feast your eyes hopefully change the minds of everyone around you who thinks there are no global crisis.
