A 2019 UN report by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has found that nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history.
Resource Extraction
Countries that are rich in natural resources are often poor and suffer from high rates of inequality, corruption, human rights abuse, and environmental degradation.
Sustainable Fishing
Overfishing is the process of catching too many fish at once, so that the breeding population becomes too depleted to recover.
Marine Pollution
Our oceans have become our dumpsters. Marine pollution threatens the health of our coasts and ocean and it comes in many different forms.
Climate Justice
Climate Justice is the reality that it is those that contribute least to climate change (through their emissions) are the ones that are impacted first and worst
The Circular Economy
The circular economy is a process of minimising waste and making the most out of finite resources to achieve sustainable development.
Access to Markets and Industry
Goal 9 focuses on making sure that industries and infrastructure is future-proofed and responsive to the needs of people, giving people the tools to find long term solutions to problems.
Child Labour
For tens of millions of children around the world, their basic rights are at risk because they have to work.
Energy and Human Rights
There is a clear link between reducing the use of fossil fuels and the effects of climate change that our planet and its people will experience in the future.
Water Conflict
The conflict over water relates to the gap between demand and supply. Add in climate change, the geopolitics of water transfers and pressures from population increase and the problem becomes only too obvious.
