UNEP’s quarterly magazine Our Planet features authoritative articles
on the theme of environment and development by world scientific and
political leaders. Our Planet has an estimated annual print readership
of around 300,000 a year, while the Internet editions are read by some
seven million people from 118 countries.
Our Planet is
published in English, French, and Spanish, with Korean, Chinese, and
Japanese language versions produced by local UNEP-linked groups. The
first issue of 2007 - which appeared on the occasion of the 24th
session of UNEP's Governing Council in early February - represented a
major overhaul of the magazine, in terms of both content and design.
Under the title 'Connected Dreams - Globalization and Environment' and
echoing the theme of the Governing Council, the new-look Our Planet
features a more modern design, a larger format, as well as a number of
new features: 'reflections', 'verbatim', 'numbers', 'books', 'people',
'awards and events', 'products', and a page on relevant Internet
resources.
