A world of promises, deadlines and mechanisms have been drawing a map of our sustainable future: The Paris Agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals, the New York Declaration on Forests, the Bonn Challenge and the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. All ambitious, but are we getting there? How far are we now and how can we move from paper to action? GLF Bonn 2018 will explore where the next steps for action lie, through the lens of GLF’s main themes.
