I am of a matriarchal bloodline, I know fierce like the cradle of my grandmother. The women in my family have created all that we have with sheer grit; despite living as tribal/rural woman in one of the most patriarchal and violent countries against women in the world; Pakistan

Health & Biodiversity decision just adopted in the final #COP15 plenary! This + health in new Global Biodiversity Framework provide key entry points for raising ambition, strengthening health leadership, cooperation and support 4 #OneHealth! @WHO @DrMariaNeira
196 countries have agreed to a global deal for nature!
It's goal: to halt biodiversity loss by 2030
Including by:
-protecting 30% land and 30% oceans by 2030
-30% of degraded ecosystems restored
-30B$ for biodiversity by 2030

It stayed in!
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework - just adopted at #COP15 in Montreal - follows a human rights approach and "acknowledges the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment"

We now have a global deal for nature!
Consisting of 23 global target, and calling for national biodiversity plans for 196 countries - the #COP15 deal is underpinned by the fact we all deeply depend on biodiversity for our own human health and survival.
The near-final draft of the Global #Biodiversity Framework is out! In the next 24 hours, we'll likely have a global deal for nature.
As it stands, the deal would recognize that our own personal health is intimately and deeply connected to the health of the planet.
The linkages between biodiversity and health have been severely watered down in the last #COP15 GBF text.
@c_pdesrosiers point out the impact of pollution on human health has disappeared from latest draft

Our own health and well-being are intimately linked to the health of the planet and all the beings we share this earth with.
The Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework recognises this - but leaves us vulnerable
