Our definition of Environment

The concept 'Environment' has a wide coverage and includes natural resources, land use, biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, climate change, resource depletion, environmental degradation and pollution. Climate change is always included when the term environment is mentioned, even if it is not always explicitly expressed.
