Stockholm+50 provides a unique opportunity to accelerate the implementation of the UN Decade of Action to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on climate change, and the post-2020 global Biodiversity Framework, and steer humanity back on the path to a sustainable and inclusive future.
