Held online on March 9 2022
Our crises in climate and nature are two sides of the same coin. Earth’s systems are critically threatened, planetary boundaries are breaking, irreversible tipping points near. Climate catastrophes will permanently worsen unless we stop warming at 1.5°C, drive emissions to genuine net-zero, and achieve a full recovery of nature and biodiversity.
The science is clear: this is humanity’s ‘code red’, and our window to deliver is narrowing. Without immediate attention on all environmental challenges – from oceans to food – Earth’s natural systems will collapse. It’s #NowForNature: A radical transformation of our economy, society and financial system is our only choice.
