The land we depend on is in danger.
On 8 Aug, the @IPCC_CH Report on #ClimateChange & Land (#SRCCL) will show that our #food, #water, health & well-being are under threat—mostly due to human activity.
Without urgent, transformative change, our land will be irreparably degraded.

If we want to #EndPoverty, achieve #ZeroHunger and meet the rest of the #SDGs, we need a healthy environment.
Along with many other elements of transformative change, the #CircularEconomy is a sustainable solution that can help protect our 🌎.
