🗨️ "The UN Pact for the Future should include #biodiversity as a core pillar: not only of #environmental #sustainability, but of #equity, security, and inter-generational justice."

Our team also demonstrates how our #research #infrastructures collectively contribute to the the #Kunming-Montreal GBF.

Scientists call for a global alliance to place biodiversity at the heart of the UN Pact for the Future

A new white paper delivers a clear message: protecting biodiversity is not just an environmental issue. It is essential for food security, public health, climate stability, and the global economy.
