Summary
In 2019, a report by the Secretary-General outlines progresses made to implement the UN’s 2018 harmony with nature resolution. It covers initiatives and their progress made from July 2018 to July 2019. The report said the progress is ” indicating how rising awareness and profound concern over climate change is reflected in Earth-centred initiatives in legislation, policy and education.” Commemorating ten years of International Mother Earth Day and Harmony with Nature, the report recommends member states engage in dialogue to draft a universal declaration of the rights of Mother Earth and encourage the expanding Harmony with Nature Knowledge Network to advance the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the UN’s plan of action for sustainable development.
