I have joined my Rio Conventions colleagues @simonstiell and @AndreaMeza76 at #COP30 to convey the support of @UNBiodiversity for strong outcomes that deliver reinvigorated #ClimateAction and benefits across the connected land and biodiversity agendas.
We are in this together.
Today at #COP30, the COP Presidencies of @UNBiodiversity, @UNCCD and @UNFCCC convened a reflection on bridging agendas by strengthening synergies across land, climate and nature, and fostering whole-of-society action in support of implementation.
Our joint endeavour continues.
🌍 This #WorldEnvironmentDay, a stark reminder: every second, we lose to degradation 4⃣ football fields of productive land.
That’s land we all depend on—for food, water and livelihoods. We can't afford to wait. Every second counts. #United4Land we must act now 🙌
