Results of the 15th Annual "Questionnaire on Environmental Problems and the Survival of Humankind"

This report summarizes the results of the "Questionnaire on Environmental Problems and the Survival of Humankind" (2006), a survey conducted annually by the Asahi Glass Fundation since 1992. This year, the questionnaire was designed to gauge the perceptions of environmental experts from both governmental and private sector organizations around the world, about the progress of endeavors to solve various environmental problems and to highlight how those observations reflect regional characteristics. The questionnaire continued to query respondents on the issues addressed in previous years, including the Environmental Doomsday Clock and Agenda 21. This year’s survey also probed respondents about environmental problems identified in last year’s (2005) survey as requiring prioritization, both globally and locally, to try to identifiy the focal point of these concerns.
