Top-notch Interpretation

• The idea that greenhouse gas emissions are
  causing global warming began to be studied in the
  late 1950s, but was not accepted until the early
  1980s. Impact studies showed that failure to
  control emission would be disastrous. The
  scientific evidence raised public concerns and
  resulted in calls for a global treaty, In 1988,
  UNEP and WMO establish the IPCC to assess the
  potential extent and impact of climate change and
  to identify mitigating measures, in preparation
  for convention negotiations.

  essential health services, suffering hunger or

  health problems which make it harder for them to
  improve their situation.

45

  relationship between poverty and poor health
  while such infectious diseases result directly
  from poverty, they also perpetuate and deepen
  impoverishment by sapping personal and national
  health and financial resources.

46

  causes. Those living in poverty suffer lower life
  expectancy . Every year nearly 11 million
  children living in poverty die before their fifth

  800 million people go to bed hungry every night.
• Poverty increases the risk of homelessness. There
