                        In case you missed it: environmental updates








                        COVID-19 has shown us that human health and the 
planet’s health are linked. In response to the crisis, UNEP is providing 
even more support to countries as they reduce the risks of future pandemics 
by restoring ecosystems and biodiversity, fighting climate change and 
reducing pollution. Read on for recent online highlights from UNEP.

                        Biodiversity: It’s Time for Nature


                        The International Day for Biological Diversity on 22 
May kicked off the #ForNature campaign, which will lead into World 
Environment Day on 5 June. The theme— It's Time for Nature—highlights how 
nature delivers vital services to humanity and the urgent need to halt its 
destruction.

                        As part of the global response to COVID-19, UNEP is 
supporting nations and partners to “build back better” – through stronger 
science, policies that back a healthier planet and more green investments.

COVID-19


                        According to global trends, air quality seems to be 
improving as the world has locked down to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. But, 
rising levels of global carbon dioxide concentrations reveal that the 
climate crisis persists.

                        Tea, one of the oldest cash crops, can play a big 
role in reducing poverty and rural development.But, in most tea-growing 
countries, farmers remain marginalized and poor. On International Tea Day 
(21 May) we explore how the industry can build back better after COVID-19.

can stop)


                        Having neglected the elements that surround us, we 
have inadvertently made our world a less healthy place to live. See how our 
failure to care for the environment is affecting our own health.
