At the end of 2015, world leaders adopted an ambitious global development framework: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. There has never been a more urgent need for a concerted, integrated and aspirational compact for sustainable development. At the same time as negotiations for the 2030 Agenda were in full swing, in mid-2015, the global concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere breached the 400 parts per million milestonea critical red line for climate stabilizationfor the first time in recorded history. Planetary health is literally at stake, which could undermine many of the human development achievements of the past decades.
