The Commonwealth Secretary-General, Patricia Scotland, told a gathering of world leaders and scientists on Thursday that collaborative action is needed to stop the out-of-control impacts of climate change and the loss of biodiversity.

According to Scotland who spoke at the One Forest Summit in Libreville, Gabon, it is obvious that a regenerative and inclusive strategy is required to address the growing concerns.

She called on world experts, heads of state, and ministers to use cooperation and partnership to find the answers required to create a stable, peaceful, and prosperous future for the next generations.

In her words, “It is clear that reversing biodiversity loss is going to take a regenerative approach and it is also clear that it is going to take all of us.

“If you look at what the experts have been saying – they have all been saying the same things. Number one, we need to collaborate more, number two, we are not going to be able to tackle these crises unless we really understand the data, and number three, solutions are going to demand the inclusion of every sector and a multilateral, multinational approach.

“So, I am glad that most of the countries who have spoken at the Summit are members of the Commonwealth family. We have 56 countries, 2.5 billion people – 60% of whom are under the age of 30 – but the rest are our friends, and we need our friends to solve this crisis.”
