All Day   (Asia/Colombo)

As the global community is called to re-examine our relationship to the natural world, one thing is certain: despite all our technological advances, we are completely dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter and energy.

This International Day for Biological Diversity, under the theme “Harmony with nature and sustainable development”, highlights how the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework connects with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showing that both agendas must advance together as they support one another.
