On the eve of the World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD),
held in autumn 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa, United Nations
Secretary General Kofi Annan recommended five specific areas as
focal points of discussion for the global forum: Water, energy,
health, agriculture and biodiversity. In his address, "Towards a
Sustainable Future," delivered just four months before the WSSD,
Secretary General Annan contended that concrete progress in each of
these areas, often referred to by their acronym WEHAB, would be key
to improving the quality of life not only in the developing world
but across the globe. For most people, I think it is fair to say
that the inclusion of biodiversity in a list that focuses on basic
human needs may not be self-evident. Water, energy, health and
agriculture, yes. But why biodiversity? The truth is that
biodiversity is just as critical to global well-being as water,
energy, agriculture and health. This is because biodiversity both
drives and shapes nature's intricate and dynamic structure in an
enduring form and force that enables both current and future
generations to enjoy its bounty.
