We have years, not decades, to take on the interconnected crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. But by working together, we’re overcoming barriers to the solutions our planet needs.
We will use the power of nature and the strength of policy and markets to reduce emissions, support renewable energy, and store carbon to reach our goal of avoiding or sequestering 3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
We will help 100 million people at severe risk of climate-related emergencies by protecting and restoring the health of natural habitats—from mangroves and reefs to floodplains and forests—that help protect communities from storm surge, extreme rainfall, severe wildfires and sea level rise.
We will conserve 4 billion hectares of ocean through new and better-managed protected areas, global-scale sustainable fishing, innovative financing, and positive policy changes to how the world governs the seas.
We will partner with communities around the globe to conserve critical forests, grasslands and other habitats rich in carbon and biodiversity while improving the management of working lands.
We will conserve river systems and lakes and wetlands by engaging in collaborative partnerships, promoting innovative solutions, and supporting policies that improve the quality and amount of water available in freshwater ecosystems and to communities.
We support people whose well-being and livelihoods depend on healthy oceans, freshwater, and lands. We will partner with Indigenous Peoples and other local communities to learn from and support their leadership.
