The #climate and #biodiversity crises are intertwined and must be addressed together. Business as usual economic growth and incremental changes will not suffice. We need transformative change!!

"One of the fundamental values behind #environmental protection has always been #justice ... [it] must also be understood as a fight for human justice — for people who’ve been harassed, murdered, marginalized and abused for far too long."

#COVID19 is a public health emergency — that is fast becoming a human rights crisis.

People — and their rights — must be front and centre.

My new report on how human rights can and must guide #coronavirus response & recovery: https://t.co/CmYirKbsci

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The #COVID19 crisis is an unprecedented wake-up call.
