                              Planetary emergencies take centre stage as 
world leaders gather virtually

                              The Earth is careening towards a trio of 
environmental catastrophes, politicians, scientists and activists said 
during the Fifth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly 
(UNEA-5). Their main message: humanity is running out of time to tackle 
climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. During the assembly, 
delegates from 153 states also approved UNEP’s new Medium-Term Strategy, a 
vision for the institution’s role in driving sustainable development.

                                Can big data help protect the planet?

                                A data deficit is hamstringing the world’s 
ability to fight climate change. But technology, from drones to artificial 
intelligence, is helping to change that.

                              How to end humanity’s “suicidal” war on nature

                              A landmark report from UNEP offers a blueprint 
for tackling climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, three crises 
that UN Secretary-General António Guterres called an existential threat to 
humankind. This year, we must make peace with nature, urges Inger Andersen, 
UNEP's Executive Director.

                                Glacier collapse in India a worrying sign of 
what’s to come

                                A deadly flood in northern India, sparked by 
a cratering glacier, was not an isolated incident but the result of a 
rapidly warming planet, say experts.
