The Planetary Emergency Plan 2.0, updated to include insights from the covid-19 global pandemic, makes the case that we are unequivocally in the midst of a planetary emergency. The plan provides ten commitments to protect the global commons and public goods as well with ten essential transformative actions to drive systems change and stabilize the earth.

Declaring a Planetary Emergency provides a new compass for nations and injects the essential urgency into decision-making. It will ensure that all action from 2020 will be taken in consideration through its impact on the stability of Earth’s life-support systems, and be underpinned by the social and economic transformations needed to secure the long-term health and well-being of people and planet. By doing so, we can finally ensure that we collectively promote social progress and better standards of life as asked for in 1945 when the United Nations was born.
