We must unite and mobilize all our efforts for Climate Action, to protect biodiversity and to support all those, namely indigenous communities, who are teaching us how to care for planet Earth.
In your message for Mother Earth Daycelebrated on April 22, the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, highlighted the urgency of restoring the relationship between humanity and the environment.
For Guterres, actions harmful to nature have direct impacts on humanity, putting food production at risk, polluting the ocean and air, and creating a more dangerous and less stable environment.
The United Nations chief also called on countries to produce new national climate plans in line with limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, he urged the group of largest economies, the G20, to lead a rapid, fair and funded global phase-out of fossil fuels.
Guterres emphasized the urgent need to act to create a better future for all by stressing that “repairing relations with Mother Earth is the mother of all humanity’s challenges.”
