𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟳 #GEO7 is UNEP's most comprehensive assessment of the planet's environmental state and pathways to sustainable development. It has been an honour to contribute! #ClimateChange #PollutionReduction #Biodiversity #UNEP #UNEA7
Investing in a healthy planet isn’t just good for nature — it’s a massive economic opportunity.
The newly released #GEO7 report shows that transforming our energy, food, waste and finance systems can unlock US$20 trillion a year by 2070, save millions of lives, and lift millions out of poverty.

With @HEALenviron, Sutter has been testing water samples for microplastics/pollutants: says if we don't connect these dots between joy, spending time in nature & protecting nature, it might all seem irrelevant and the river is just what we cross to get somewhere else #HEAL2025
