Around the world, ecosystems and biodiversity are in freefall. Never before has there been greater need for a global paradigm shift in the way we manage and consume the Earth’s resources. In this opening plenary, keynote speakers kick off the GLF Biodiversity Digital Conference with a call for the One Health approach, spotlighting the pivotal role that biodiversity plays in maintaining human and planetary health, while drawing on learnings from the current COVID-19 pandemic to set the scene for a healthier, more resilient future.
