Input from All Win Network and Institute of Planetary Synthesis to the United Nations Environment Assembly Ministerial Declaration on Integrating Nature-Aligned Approaches for Sustainable Development

This submission provides input from civil society organisations to a draft ministerial declaration of a United Nations Environment Assembly session, addressing environmental degradation and sustainable development. It states that environmental decline results from cumulative human actions and calls for collective cooperation aligned with the 2030 Agenda. The document highlights cooperative principles observed in natural systems and suggests their application to governance. It argues that aligning actions with the laws and qualities of nature strengthens sustainability and reduces tensions between economic and social priorities. It also presents an initiative to share related insights and practices with member states to support implementation.
