Our home: A progressive agenda on international nature
Article
A healthy natural world is a non-negotiable life-support system for every person on earth. It underpins all of our lives in fundamental ways.
However, our joint life support system is currently being dismantled at pace, and key ecosystems are facing existential threats.
The next decade – the duration of just two UK parliaments – will likely be the difference between success and failure. The new government has a huge responsibility – and opportunity – to help secure humanity’s future.
This paper sets out the situation today – the status of international nature, why it matters, why the UK must invest in the agenda, and the steps which have already been made internationally, which provide a platform for progress. It also assesses what could risk holding the UK back. It then sets out what a progressive agenda for international nature entails.
