We must face, and act upon, an inconvenient truth. The impact of human activities on Earth's geology and ecosystems is threatening the foundations of life on our planet and decades of progress in human development.
We are acting counter to the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development -- a future that guarantees a decent life for all. Our survival and continued prosperity demand structural change and immediate action. Collapsing fish stocks, melting permafrost, rising antimicrobial resistance, and the loss of tropical rainforests are just a few examples of trends that are undermining the foundation of development.
