A study shows that the benefits of biodiversity are equivalent to twice the global GDP.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

No country has achieved the diversity targets set by the Convention on Biological Diversity, with a deadline in 2020. We now <\/span>face a funding gap of more than $700 billion by 2030<\/b>, warns the UN Secretary General.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why 2021 has to be the year for reconciliation between humanity and nature. So far <\/span>we have been destroying our planet, we have been abusing it as if we had a spare one<\/b>, our current resource consumption requires almost two planets, but we only have one. If we compare the history of the earth to a calendar year, we have used one third of those natural resources in the last 0.2 seconds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Actions such as air, land, and water pollution have provoked a counter-attack by nature that is evident in record temperatures, <\/span>the collapse of diversity, the spread of deserts and in the numerous and increasingly dangerous extreme events<\/b> such as fires, floods, and hurricanes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
