En este día, conmemoramos el inicio de la Semana Global de #AcciónXODS demandando a los gobiernos del mundo y a todos los sectores un #2030NoNegociable, donde nos movilizamos para exigir la adopción acelerada de una propuesta de Estímulo de los ODS, bajo tres ámbitos de acción: un aumento masivo de la financiación para el desarrollo; una nueva iniciativa para aliviar las deudas de los países más pobres; y la ampliación de la financiación de contingencia para todos las países que la necesiten.
Es imprescindible comprender y actuar sobre el hecho de que la pérdida de nuestros ecosistemas, tiene una intrínseca relación con el aumento en la pobreza. La creciente tendencia a la pérdida de bosques, degradación de los suelos y la extinción de especies suponen una grave amenaza tanto para el planeta como para las personas.
Los ecosistemas de nuestro planeta están en peligro y sus mayores efectos se observan en los oceánicos y terrestres. Nuestros océanos, el mayor ecosistema del mundo, están en grave peligro a raíz de la contaminación por plásticos, sobrepesca, acidificación, calentamiento y eutrofización. Tan sólo en 2021, más de 17 millones de toneladas de plásticos se vertieron en los océanos, y se prevé que esta cifra se triplique para 2040. Por ello este día busca que a toda costa optemos por #PreservarLaVida.
