7. The Millennium Development Goals derive from the Millennium Summit, which was held in September 2000 in New York. They are a set of time-bound and measurable goals and targets for combating poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women, among other pressing issues.5 The goal on environmental sustainability includes the target of integrating the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reversing the loss of environmental resources. The proportion of land area covered by forests is an indicator for this target. Statistical data regarding this indicator are provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
