Colombia's Statement - Agenda Item 3. Briefing on the global foresight report on planetary health and wellbeing

This statement from Colombia at the Subcommittee meeting Agenda Item 3 thanks the Secretariat and welcomes the collaborative effort by UNEP and the International Science Council in preparing the global foresight report on planetary health and well-being. It is very important to advance possible responses that anticipate environmental damage in complex, changing contexts with uncertainty and emerging challenges. The key messages are agile and adaptive governance, integrating data and knowledge, and a new social contract with broader and more diverse stakeholders to increase societal resilience and guide effective international action and decisions for a relatively safe planet today and future.
