As Li Junhua (UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs) said:
“We close this historic week not just with hope, but with concrete commitment, clear direction, and undeniable momentum.”

But perhaps most impactful of all? The connections forged — from heads of state to lawyers, economists, senior scientists, and students. 🌍🤝

The hope is that this momentum translates into real action to tackle the Triple Planetary Crisis: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
