Conventions

We are living at a time when we need to act decisively to produce global agreements on sustainability, social inclusion and poverty reduction, climate resilience and the conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity. From a global perspective, the prevailing trajectories of economic growth have put at risk the survival of at least two of the systems that sustain human well-being on the planet: climate and biological diversity. There is a clear scientific consensus (IPCC 2021, 2018; IPBES 2019) that indicates an alarming planetary risk due to the deterioration of these two systems and points to human activity as the main factor responsible.
