We cannot outsmart nature
But we can work with it, as we travel in the same direction
With nature-based solutions, we help fight climate change, bring nature back on track and help communities thrive

Decision time approaches at #COP15.
We need to agree on clear goals:
🟢 Restoring 6 billion ha of land & marine ecosystems
🟢 The 30 x 30 target to protect biodiversity
🟢 25% reduction of our ecological footprint by 2030
Nature is our ship.
We must ensure it stays afloat.
