We need nature if we want to build a more prosperous world
Our societies are intimately linked with and depend on biodiversity. Biodiversity is essential for people, including through its provision of nutritious food, clean water, medicines, and protection from extreme events.
Biodiversity loss and the degradation of its contributions to people, jeopardize progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and human wellbeing. The evidence of these connections is clear.
As countries put plans in place to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the United Nations Summit on Biodiversity, convened by the President of the General Assembly on 30 September 2020, calls attention for the need to work towards a new normal, where all people can live in harmony with nature. #fornature
