Our future is at risk due to loss of nature, degradation of ecosystems and climate change.  

Your gift helps key decision makers put nature at the centre of their policies and practice to support sustainable development. 

A transformative shift where all sectors consider nature is needed to enable everyone to address the nature and climate change crises.   

This is not possible without the right data and knowledge to enable key actors to put the right measures in place, to drive the much needed transformative and systemic change. 

For over 40 years, UNEP-WCMC has worked with partners to ensure the world is equipped with trusted science, data, knowledge and advice to better inform decision-making.  

• Our work under Protected Planet has helped bring increased knowledge of the areas of land and ocean under protected or conserved status, contributing to the monitoring and tracking of global biodiversity commitments.
• Our work on wildlife trade has informed policies that have helped to secure a future for exploited species and the communities that depend on them.
• Our work at the interface between biodiversity and climate science has contributed to driving a common response to the nature and climate crises.
• Our work with business and the finance sector has delivered a better understanding of the relevance of biodiversity loss for society and the economy and drives action to solving the nature crisis.

With your support, UNEP-WCMC will continue to strengthen capacity and bring innovative approaches for the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of nature on land and in the ocean. 

Together we could: 

• Make available the essential scientific knowledge, data and insights needed by all sectors to make decisions that consider nature protection.
• Support decision makers and policy makers to develop and adopt informed policies for the benefit of nature and people.
• Champion the world to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially the global goals of protecting and restoring biodiversity, and implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework.
