One Planet summit for biodiversity – January 11, 2021

Let's act together for nature!

Biodiversity is our life insurance, but it is under threat. The Covid crisis has dramatically changed our lives; and it has also brought to the forefront the crucial need to better preserve biodiversity. Our lives and economies rely on nature.

France, with the United Nations and the World Bank, is organizing a 'One Planet Summit' for biodiversity on 11 January 2021 in Paris. The Summit will bring together heads of state and government, leaders of international organizations, financial institutions, companies and NGOs, all ready to demonstrate that their commitments are leading to concrete actions to preserve and restore biodiversity, and to lead systemic transformations of our economies.

This high-level meeting is a major milestone for the political mobilization for nature in 2021, the year that should lead to an ambitious new international agreement on biodiversity.

It is time for action. Everyone has a role to play. Let’s collectively scale up the solutions to keep our planet safe!
