Biodiversity represents the natural capital of the world, yet exploitation, pollution and climate change are bringing irreversible damage to ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>Reversing this negative trend is a major challenge for the coming decade as we need to rethink our entire relationship with nature. It is a major social and economic challenge that will require a profound transformation of value chains, business models and consumption habits, as well as concerted action at all levels and by all actors.<\/p>\n<p>The One Planet Summit, in this regard, will be a milestone for the mobilization for nature in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The Summit programme will focus on biodiversity preservation: the protection of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, the promotion of agroecology, the mobilization of funding for biodiversity, and the link between deforestation, species and human health.<\/p>\n<p>More information is available here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplanetsummit.fr\/en\">https:\/\/www.oneplanetsummit.fr\/en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Event hashtag: #OnePlanetSummit<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact for inquiries:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>One Planet Summit team &#8211; Email<em>:<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:communication.ops@developpement-durable.gouv.fr\">ops@developpement-durable.gouv.fr<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>United Nations &#8211; <\/strong>Esra Sergi Bertani, <strong>Email:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:sergie@un.org\">sergie@un.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>World Bank <\/strong>\u2013 Susan E.
