The UN chief raised alarm over the “lightning pace” of degradation of the natural world.
“Biodiversity is the bedrock of life and a cornerstone of sustainable development,” Mr. Guterres said.
“Yet humanity is destroying biodiversity at lightning pace, the result of pollution, climate crisis, ecosystem destruction and – ultimately – short-term interests fuelling the unsustainable use of our natural world.”
He stressed that no country, “however rich or powerful,” can address the crisis in isolation, nor thrive without the ecological richness that defines life on Earth.
