We are experiencing a dangerous decline in nature and land health globally. This is exacerbating the climate crisis, undermining food and water security and putting people and the planet at risk.
We have until the end of the decade to reverse the trajectory of nature loss and land degradation. Transformational change is achievable if we act decisively through a whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach from local communities to global initiatives. UNEP is committed to fostering harmony with nature and land in alignment with the Global Biodiversity Framework, leveraging the integrity of terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems to enhance social resilience and drive progress towards a sustainable future.
The work of UNEP on nature action supports Multilateral Environmental Agreements and is carried out through public-private partnerships, often involving networks, centres and programmes.
