"This Handbook provides African journalists and other environmental practitioners with a user- friendly compilation of the key environmental issues affecting the African continent together with the multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) that address these issues. It is a quick, yet detailed, reference material for environmental reporting and information dissemination regarding the critical MEAs that have a bearing on the African continent. The Handbook makes a quick overview and snap-shot of the main MEAs that have a strong bearing on Africa and sets the pace for better environmental reporting and informed decision-making." (Page 6)
