Nature-based solutions use ecosystems like forests, wetlands and soils to support people and protect the planet.
They offer affordable, effective ways to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

And why, in 2024, @unep.org honoured Madhav as a Champion of the Earth.

But we need voices from every sector to shape a #PlasticsTreaty that truly delivers
Pleased to join Norway & partners at #UNEA7 to discuss priorities needed to secure a global treaty for the ages

Agreeing a #PlasticsTreaty to truly #BeatPlasticPollution depends on dialogue, transparency and trust.
But the science is clear: we don’t have unlimited time. As I said at #UNEA7, a historic plastics treaty is still within reach if we continue inclusive work together:
