Hugh Bayley: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether her Department has received a copy of
UNEP's Report, Global Environment Outlook 3, and if she will make a statement. [79082]
Mr. Meacher: My Friend, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, gave a keynote speech at the global launch
of the third UNEP Global Environment Outlook (GEO3) Report in London on 22 May. The Secretary of State, and the Defra officials that
attended the launch, were given copies of the Report.
The GEO3 Report provides an authoritative assessment that informs our thinking on global sustainable development. Although it does
not single out individual countries, it makes clear that action is required by all countries to tackle environmental degradation.
The UK Government take the problems identified by the report extremely seriously and are taking appropriate action in key areas,
including biodiversity, climate change, forests and oceans.
For information, the Secretary of State's speech can be found at: http://defraweb/corporate/ministers/ speeches/mb230502.htm.

Clare Short: My Department has received a copy of UNEP's Global Environment Outlook 3. It is a very useful reference document which
we will take into account in our own monitoring of global environmental trends and their impact on developing countries. In this
context we were pleased by the successful conclusion of the negotiations of the third replenishment of the Global Environment
Facility last August. The UK has increased its share in the GEF, and will provide £118 million over the next four years, including a
voluntary contribution of £15 million.
