The Earth, especially the human environment, is in grave danger – states the report prepared by UNEP. It draws attention, among other things, to the fact that “environmental pollution is reaching such proportions that it endangers food production and threatens famine.” The United Nations Population Fund also paints a bleak picture of the Earth's future. Cities are becoming increasingly dirty, and drinking water is becoming more and more contaminated. Deforestation will increase, the quality of arable land will deteriorate due to poor cultivation, and more and more people will become impoverished. Population growth will also be detrimental from an environmental perspective. All this is compounded by the devastation of wars, which are almost incessant in various parts of the world. Scientists link the degradation of the living environment to the increasingly noticeable climate change and the rise in cancer rates among the population.
