Now is the time for urgent action to achieve a healthy planet
As the world marks 50 years since the birth of the environmental movement, it is time to re-evaluate what politicians, businesses and individuals can do to address the environmental challenges that threaten our health, prosperity, peace and planet. Stockholm+50 – an international meeting to be held from 2-3 June provides an opportunity to do just that.ee
Stockholm+50’s key goal is to drive action towards a healthy planet for the prosperity of all. One of the main themes of the conference is to achieve a sustainable and inclusive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Such action is urgently needed as we face the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has described the triple planetary crisis as “our number one existential threat” that needs “an urgent, all-out effort to turn things around.”
