Climate change and environmental pollution are amongst the greatest threats affecting the planet, humanity, and biodiversity. The 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development,1 adopted in 2015, included an urgent call for action from all sectors and established 17 goals to stimulate efforts over the coming years in areas of critical importance. This agenda is a plan of action for people, planet, and prosperity.
