By tracking our habits we can learn to change our behaviors to make choices that have less harmful effects on the environment and lead to a more sustainable world.

Ecosystem Restoration Playbook

To encourage the revival of ecosystems everywhere, UNEP has published the Ecosystem Restoration Playbook, a practical guide to healing the planet that provides an introduction to the range of actions that can slow and halt degradation and foster the recovery of 8 key types of ecosystems around the world.

Sustainable Development Goals

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) provide a plan agreed to by world leaders with solutions to build a greener, fairer, better world by 2030. We each have a role to play in achieving them; for each of the 17 Global Goals, there are many positive actions individuals can take to make a real change.

CALL TO ACTION

Planetary Emergency

All UN Member States should set goals by preparing human rights-based decarbonization plans to reduce GHG emissions 45% by 2030, and ecosystem restoration plans to protect 30% of Earth's lands and seas by 2030.

Urgent, effective, and ambitious action is required to avoid ecological collapse by addressing the triple planetary threat of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, driven by emissions, deforestation, and agriculture.

Without a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment the devastating effects of the current global climate crisis affects a wide range of internationally recognized human rights – including the right to breathe clean air, the right to drink potable water, the right to eat nutritious food, and the right to reside in a safe shelter.

There is an immediate need for humanity to transition to an ecological civilization based on the core principles of mutual respect, knowledge sharing, learning, and reciprocity that sustain living systems to permit sustainable abundance via solutions implemented by Indigenous peoples, local communities, and civil society / youth.
