Happy New Year
In the coming year, we’ll be taking on some of the great issues of our lifetime including:
working to secure a stable global climate;
understanding and protecting the sources and flows of fresh water;
ensuring nature's ability to provide food for human needs;
minimizing environmental pressures on human health;
valuing the role of nature in human cultures;
safeguarding the unknown and as-yet-undiscovered option values that nature provides; and
saving our oceans – which are threatened like never before by climate change, pollution and over-fishing.
