Hi John Today is the International Day for Biological Diversity and we're calling on governments to take urgent action on human population. Our message is simple: continued mass extinction is inevitable unless we address human numbers. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity is the key international agreement protecting global biodiversity. Following an initial set of targets to be met by 2020, governments are now
negotiating the next stage of the Convention’s work, known as the Post-2020 Framework. So far the negotiations have not addressed human population - it's vital that they do if the new framework is to have any chance of success. Our Director Robin has already written to the environment ministers of more than 40 nations urging them to ensure that the new framework includes positive, choice-based population solutions. Please join our call by writing to your government
today - we've made it easy for you by launching an e-action that allows you to submit your message in two quick and simple steps.
