Humanity is a community of shared future. Whether it is to overcome the COVID-19 epidemic, or to strengthen biodiversity conservation and achieve global sustainable development, only solidarity and cooperation can effectively address global challenges. The prosperity of ecology means the prosperity of civilization. We should work together to promote the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, build a global community of life, and build a clean and beautiful world.
——We should pool the global consensus on biodiversity conservation, jointly promote the formulation of the "post-2020 global biodiversity framework", and set goals and clear paths for global biodiversity conservation.
——We should promote the global process of biodiversity conservation, translate ambition into action, support developing countries to improve their capabilities, and work together to address global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss.
——We should promote green development through biodiversity conservation, accelerate the green transformation of development and lifestyle, and take the global development initiative as a guide to bring more tangible benefits to the people of all countries.
——We should maintain a fair and reasonable global order for biodiversity conservation, firmly defend genuine multilateralism, and firmly support the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, so as to form a strong joint force to protect the Earth's homeland.
