5:38 President Bollinger, Dear friends,
I thank Columbia University for hosting this gathering — and I welcome those joining online around the world.
We meet in this unusual way as we enter the last month of this most unusual year.
We are facing a devastating pandemic, new heights of global heating, new lows of ecological degradation and
new setbacks in our work towards global goals for more equitable, inclusive and sustainable development.
>>State_of_the_Planet by Un Chief António
6:13 To put it simple, the state of the planet is broken.
Dear friends,
6:16 Humanity is waging war on nature.
6:24 This is suicidal.
Nature always strikes back and it is already doing so with growing force and fury.
6:35 Biodiversity is collapsing.
One million species are at risk of extinction.
Ecosystems are disappearing before our eyes.
Deserts are spreading.
Wetlands are being lost.
Every year, we lose 10 million hectares of forests.
Oceans are overfished -- and choking with plastic waste. The carbon dioxide they absorb is acidifying the seas.
Coral reefs are bleached and dying.
7:01 Air and water pollution are killing 9 million people annually – more than six times the current toll of the
pandemic.

I'm here because of Karen Ibasco. Miss Earth.

We should be talking about climate changed by humans. Climate change did not just drop from the skies. Let humans admit this.

[mucrown]

The UN can help Thailand, please ask the government to repeal Section 112.🇹🇭🇺🇳

[ferkeap]

Nuclear energy should be on the lips of them as well.

That's why you need to talk about sustainable energy not only renewable energy.

We need to go forward on all usable resources.

[loyrego]

clarify and advocate more to building Africa's Green wall

Settling up an investment that would benefit you is something one would be aiming towards. I wasn’t really a fan of online business because I have actually been doubting this all my life because I have been taken before by several scammers. But after my encounter with Luiz my prospective of online trade changes and I I’m now a millionaire from bitcoin

My sacrifice for UN families and the Columbia university togetherness supporting UN missions of climate protection 🙏🏻. The climate changed all over is we’re done with living with comfort, easy and ignoring the world 🌎. It’s my opinion.
So please adapt the way to living as the whole community living. Let’s start on your own first as individuals. Plastic, called the biodegradable more, or it’s the taking time of solving but better than staying in between the particles in the soils and even in the waters. We should use more paper portable and the plastic response twos ways of reuse ♻️ carry, from home if’s you can. Moreover glassy is easily one special you, for the plastic straws in on using take 2oo years of subsidies. It’s just my opinion on adapting a little better to living in newly hoping for everyone. Please don’t leave the plastic bag in the sealed . It’s how’s the evidence showing the whales 🐳 up floating to the shoreline on beach, inside of theme there’re many plastic bags and hurting the sea living with fisheries in the sea turtles 🐢. How’s great some foundation and official helpers. But how’s many of themes going with your carelessly 😯.

Decade for Biodiversity Action, . Planned steps for effective chemical action.
Next year, a wealth of opportunities for nature based solutions

[quentinhenderson]

I just wish I could learn more about the school of climate

[JJpsp]

It’s funny when you are able to see through their lies. It’s all recorded and the people know

[unassjuba]

But how can Africa promote and sustain green revolution if still abject poverty strikes the continent like a cancer?

[tinedevroye]

to who's DEAF EARS.. does he talks.. again..and again.. till..

[channelwarhorse]

Nature needs a bailout. We need assistance, lower sea level immediately 💘.... attempt to stabilize the jet streams. OMG ✅

[waindayoungthain]

Please be carefully on carbon control, from transportation, industrial 🏭 or the armed forces and nuclear weapons justice to destroy not only the civilians but the environmental protection for us to sacrifice. How’s the world families in severe weather, carbon any type is acids and the heating ruined ozone’s for the severe sun 🌞 rays struggles such as the drought and long conditions as the deserts 🏜 in particular the he quickest way of the glaciers solving. How’s the high 🌊 level going on, in my opinion maybe the lesser beaches for our holidays and lesser sea food. Let’s adapting ourselves together, the sea living is the greatest of world food for the earth 🌍 . How’s the next generations 😲?
It’s a lot more to learn about how we are who’s living without keeping our world 🌎. Please don’t ignoring 😊✌🏻.
