The UNEP Year Book 2010 is essential, informative and authoritative reading and reports on new environmental science plus recent developments in our changing environment. It looks at progress in environmental governance: the effects of continuing degradation and loss of the world's ecosystems; impacts of climate change; how harmful substances and hazardous waste effect human health and the environment; environmentally related disasters and conflicts; and unsustainable use of resources. Water is a recurrent theme in this seventh edition. Each chapter considers water-related environmental changes, together with a number of challenges and opportunites.

The Guide to implement the One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA) at national level has been developed collaboratively by the four Quadripartite organizations, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Guide is complementary to the OH JPA, which was launched in October 2022 in response to international requests to prevent future pandemics and to promote health sustainably through the One Health approach. Thus the Guide serves as an operational addendum to OH JPA, translating the objectives and high-level activities described in the OH JPA into national level context. The purpose of this Guide is to provide countries with countries with practical guidance on how to implement the One Health approach through the adoption and adaptation of the OH JPA, aligning with the three pathways of the theory of change. The Guide has an inclusive scope to allow every country to use it, regardless of its status with respect to One Health development and implementation.
