Nominated by @UNDP for the @EarthshotPrize, Costa Rica was one of the inaugural five winners in 2021.

By putting nature at its core, Costa Rica proves that work #ForPeopleForPlanet can thrive together.

Land is life.
It gives us everything we need to survive, yet we often take it for granted—even in a time of environmental crisis.
At @COP16Riyadh, we’re working to change that. UN Convention to Combat Desertification. #UNCCDCOP16
