UN Secretary-General AntĂłnio Guterres says, “The Earth is facing a triple planetary crisis: climate disruption, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. This triple crisis is threatening the well-being and survival of millions of people around the world.”
Mr. Guterres advocates for our leaders to bring the ambition and action needed to address our triple planetary emergency.
“We have proven that together, we can tackle monumental challenges. We must do everything we can to protect her because we have only one Mother Earth”, Mr. Guterres says.
