Abstract

The authors of this report have considered the latest science, identified policy gaps and studied systemic challenges to formulate a concrete vision for a healthy planet for all by 2030. The report offers policy suggestions for accelerating implementation and overcoming roadblocks in pursuit of this vision and integrates findings from a global online survey conducted by 1050 young people aged 18–30 from 89 countries. Rather than economic growth, the authors find that community-focused living, education and health are appropriate metrics of the prosperity of a country. It should further be measured by its “natural capital” like the quality of its air, soil and water, biodiversity and integrity of ecosystems and land use, as countries with functional environmental ecosystems are more resilient to the impacts of climate change and can provide higher standards of living to their inhabitants.
