In advance of the G7 summit in the UK, a scientific statement signed by an unprecedented 126 Nobel Laureates has been delivered to summit leaders.

The long-term potential of humanity depends upon our ability today to value our common future. Ultimately, this means valuing the resilience of societies and the resilience of Earth\u2019s biosphere.\u201d The statement calls on leaders to take action to halve greenhouse gas emissions and reverse loss of nature by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Johan Rockstr\u00f6m, PIK Director, and organizer of the summit said, \u201cNever have we seen such a loud and clear call to humanity from our most respected scholars. With one voice they conclude we face unacceptable risks. The risks are colossal, the necessary action will be unprecedented. This decade societies must halve emissions of greenhouse gases and reverse loss of nature to become nature positive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
