Description: Humanity faces multiple existential crises including a climate emergency and increasing emergence of deadly pandemics. Each crisis is driven by human encroachment on the natural world. But a common cause opens the way to common solutions. Many actions needed to prevent the next pandemic at its source – by stopping the spillover of viruses from wildlife into humans - will also help combat the climate emergency. Protection of tropical forests and biodiversity, and more sustainable agricultural practices, are essential to human and planetary health. Global leaders, health and environment actors must join forces, for people and planet, and invest in protecting nature.
