We commit to undertake the ten actions to put our planet on a path to recovery. We want to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. We must do so for our prosperity and for our health. To protect livelihoods and fight hunger. And to become carbon neutral. All parts of government must take on this challenge together.
