And then we have the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that bring
together the economic, social and environmental agendas like never before; the
landmark Paris Agreement on climate where almost 200 governments, inclu-
ding all major emitters, committed to contain global warming; and a growing
number of corporations committing to address climate change, assuming
responsibility for using natural resources sustainably and greening their supply
chains.

Hundreds of millions of people are using social media and are taking to
the streets, making their voices heard about the future they want. The world has
never been more conscious of the problems and solutions, or more committed
to addressing them.

We have already entered a great transition toward an ecologically sustaina-
ble and more equitable future for all. The scale and pace of this transition will
define success or failure.

There has never been a more exciting or challenging time for W WF or
indeed for the entire environmental movement. This is a unique opportunity to
rebalance our relationship with the planet. It’s an opportunity we have to take.
