10. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
 231
Since as early as the 1960s, scientists have been attempting 
to  link  global  climate  change  with  anthropogenic  action.  At  the 
beginning the initiative came from the scientists working on research 
on the atmo sphere, who were trying to make the connection between 
the impact of the collective action of humankind on the whole 
atmo sphere and its possible changes. This kind of interdisciplinary 
approach was used in a scientific programme ‘Human and Biosphere’ 
carried  out  by  the  United  Nations  Educational,  Scientific  and 
Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) from 1971 to 1984. In a way, it set 
the foundation for interaction between environ mental science and 
environ mental politics and enabled solving current global problems 
more efficiently.
In September 2000, the General Assembly of the United Nations, 
which  191  member  states  took  part  in,  signed  the  United  Nations 
Millennium Declaration and set eight Millennium Development 
Goals to be fulfilled until 2015.
