'The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) report, entitled
Making Peace
With Nature: A scientific blueprint to tackle the climate, biodiversity, and
pollution emergencies, was introduced by Secretary-General António Guterres at
U.N. headquarters in New York.
"I want to be clear. Without nature's help, we will not thrive or even
survive," said Guterres. "For too long, we have been waging a senseless and
suicidal war on nature. The result is three interlinked environmental
crises—climate disruption, biodiversity loss, and pollution—that threaten our
viability as a species."
"They are caused by unsustainable production and consumption," he added. "Human
well-being lies in protecting the health of the planet. It's time to reevaluate
and reset our relationship with nature. This report can help us do so."'
