Eye On:

Today marks the release of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) annual State of the World Population Report. But the 2010 edition, "From Conflict and Crisis to Renewal: Generations of Change," is unlike those that have come before. In lieu of the traditional statistic-driven report, this year’s edition has enlisted another tool to document living conditions across the world — storytelling. In addition to demographers, the UNFPA looked to journalists to fan out across the world to gather stories on the ground and paint a portrait of the challenges and opportunities facing today’s global population that goes beyond the numbers, with particular focus on gender issues and human insecurity.
For more on the UNFPA report, be sure to listen to The New Security Beat’s interview with one of its authors, Barbara Crossette, who talks about her experiences dealing with family planning around the world, as part of our ongoing Pop Audio series.

Perhaps the time is approaching when someone will say so others can hear it,
Don’t just do something, stand there and speak out.
Then, perhaps in the offing, necessary change toward sustainability…
