The nervous knot in your stomach, the sweaty palms\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Last week, all governments found out how they scored against the targets they set themselves a decade ago to protect nature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>It was pretty bad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Governments didn\u2019t reach any of the targets in full to slow biodiversity loss, and as a result nature is at breaking point.

As the schoolkids who are mobilising to fight for their future right now know, we can\u2019t let governments give up on tackling the ecological crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>This is our planet\u2019s life support system we\u2019re talking about: healthy forests and oceans help us to fight against climate breakdown, provide us with clean air to breathe, and can act as a shield against new diseases causing more pandemics. When we protect nature, we protect ourselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Instead of losing hope, we need to understand why governments failed \u2013 and organise to do things differently, fast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image  caption-style-blue-overlay caption-alignment-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-international-stateless\/2020\/09\/1e95e5ad-gp0stucvm-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Greenland Iceberg. \u00a9 Daniel Beltr\u00e1 \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-45221\" title=\"Greenland Iceberg. \u00a9 Daniel Beltr\u00e1 \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption>Iceberg in Rypefjord off of Scoresby Sound on the east coast of Greenland. \u00a9 Daniel Beltr\u00e1 \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What went wrong?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>One of the problems is clear. Destructive industries are piling more pressures on our planet\u2019s life support system than at any point in human history. Not only have mega corporations based their business model on burning planet-wrecking fossil fuels, setting forests on fire to clear land to grow commodities, and plundering ever deeper and more remote reaches of the oceans, they\u2019re also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unearthed.greenpeace.org\/2017\/11\/29\/brazil-oil-shell-oil-lobbying-for-uk-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">polluting our politics<\/a>&nbsp;to weaken environmental protection. As a result, just&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.intactforests.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">15% of the world\u2019s forests remain intact<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IPBES\/status\/1137254431467212800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">only 3% of the world\u2019s oceans are free from human pressures<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Continuing to waste money on industries that aren\u2019t good for us \u2013 like industrial agriculture or the fossil fuel industry \u2013 is also making the situation worse. Bailing out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unearthed.greenpeace.org\/2020\/06\/04\/basf-bayer-covid-bailout-dividends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pesticide giants<\/a>&nbsp;with public money and the richest countries pumping&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.energypolicytracker.org\/region\/g20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">billions into dirty energy<\/a>&nbsp;this year are just the tip of the iceberg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>But also, global progress doesn\u2019t happen by magic \u2013 it\u2019s the result of hard work at home. Just like spending no time studying but hoping by some miracle that you\u2019d ace the test, after agreeing these global goals back in 2010 barely any governments translated these global targets into national laws and policies. This meant that individual governments didn\u2019t own their responsibility to act in order to make progress collectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image  caption-style-blue-overlay caption-alignment-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-international-stateless\/2020\/09\/1ebdf048-gp0sttp6s-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Shrimp in Sponge in the Sargasso Sea. \u00a9 Shane Gross \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-45222\" title=\"Shrimp in Sponge in the Sargasso Sea. \u00a9 Shane Gross \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption>A shrimp inside a sponge in the Sargasso Sea. \u00a9 Shane Gross \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Knowing this, what lessons can we learn to do things differently?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>To make up for lost time, we must rapidly shift away from business-as-usual. Past failures don\u2019t mean things can\u2019t ever get better \u2013 but they do mean we must act more urgently and boldly to create a different future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>To end nature destruction, governments must stop putting corporate profits over the well-being of people. Radically transforming the way we produce and consume food and other goods will ease pressure on nature. Creating vast ocean sanctuaries and rights-based protections on land can help tackle climate breakdown, species loss, food security and the risk of future pandemics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>As governments prepare to pump billions into recovery packages, this is the time to fight for a green and just recovery. Putting the health of people and nature at the heart of spending and policy decisions will mean we build back better and can stand stronger against the multiple crises that are making injustices and inequalities worse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image  caption-style-blue-overlay caption-alignment-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-international-stateless\/2020\/09\/14d89b6d-gp0stu5ai-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Member of the Huni Kuin Tribe in Brazil. \u00a9 David Tesinsky \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-45227\" title=\"Member of the Huni Kuin Tribe in Brazil. \u00a9 David Tesinsky \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption>A member of Huni Kuin tribe inspects the destruction of forests neighbouring their home in the state of Acre, Brazil. \u00a9 David Tesinsky \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Next year, governments will be collectively agreeing next steps for global nature protection. Repeating the same mistakes won\u2019t help us win \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean giving up. We know the next ten years are crucial for climate action. So that means: governments need a smarter plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Buoyed by the surging public support for climate action and nature protection, governments need to agree not just the vision of what they\u2019re aiming for, but how they\u2019re going to do it. Governments need to bring new targets home with the funding needed to make them happen, putting in place clear plans that can be held accountable by the millions of people rising up to demand action to protect our environment and our future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Last week\u2019s report on the state of nature was more of a report card on the state of politics to protect the environment. Let\u2019s cut out the bad influence of polluting industries. Let\u2019s stop governments getting away with leaving global progress to chance. As governments gear up to reboot the global economy, we can reset our relationship with nature \u2013 and ensure that every decision, from our local community up to the global stage, builds a green and just recovery.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-6440 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/save-the-amazon\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/d93c7584-gp0sttscx_medium_res-1024x683.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/d93c7584-gp0sttscx_medium_res-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/d93c7584-gp0sttscx_medium_res-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/d93c7584-gp0sttscx_medium_res-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/d93c7584-gp0sttscx_medium_res-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/d93c7584-gp0sttscx_medium_res.jpg 1200w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/save-the-amazon\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Save the Amazon\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Add your name to tell the Brazilian government to save the Amazon Rainforest and protect the lands of Indigenous and traditional communities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/save-the-amazon\/\"\n                        \n                    >\n                        Take Action\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, all governments found out how they scored against the targets they set themselves a decade ago to protect nature.
