The President of the General Assembly will be convening a High-level Thematic Debate entitled “Moment for Nature”. The High-Level Thematic Debate aims at achieving the level of cohesion needed among the global environmental work streams to keep the 1.5 degrees target alive, and rapidly accelerating the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and resilient COVID-19 recoveries. Focusing on the interlinkages and synergies between the different strands of the environmental action tracks, and with reference to the common challenges faced, the event will:

• Present solutions to common bottlenecks affecting the entire environmental agenda;
• Highlight best practices and transformative partnerships that break the silos and build the required cross-cutting technical, skilling and financial capacities that could accelerate implementation on all fronts to the level needed; 
• Reinforce the views of a range of stakeholders, including young people.
