Boris Johnson
Christine thank you very much, I want to thank you and I want to thank Emmanuel for organising this One Planet Summit, because I think it’s an absolutely crucial subject.

After all, we’re making a lot of progress as humanity in finding the technological solutions to tackle climate change and reduce carbon. Clearly there’s a huge amount still to do but we’re starting to see a way forward since the Paris Summit five years ago which was I think a huge success, we can see that humanity can do this.

But the problem is that we are destroying species and habitat at an absolutely unconscionable rate. I think we’ve lost about 500 species in the last century, of all the mammals in the world – the biomass of mammals – I think I’m right in saying that 96% of mammals on our planet are now human beings or oxen or pigs or the livestock that human beings rely on. 70% of all the birds in the world are chickens.

In other words, there has been a total or near-total destruction of wildlife. Only 4% of the mammals in the world are now wild mammals, from whales to monkeys, to you name it.

That in my view is a disaster. We’re seeing a parallel loss of habitat, of forests and plant species of all kinds. So that’s why the UK is pledged to protect 30% of our land surface, 30% of our marine surface, to create marine protected areas – vast protected areas – which is something by the way an objective that we share very much with France, with Canada – we’re all engaged in this same effort.

And of the £11.6 billion that we’ve consecrated to climate finance initiatives, we’re putting £3 billion to protecting nature, whether it’s marine life, or timber conservation or sustainable food production.

I think that as global leaders, we must go further and I’m very pleased therefore that so many countries have signed up to the UN Leaders Pledge for Nature so that we have really hard-edged targets for the preservation of species and wildlife, but also the re-wilding of our planet in the way that Sir David Attenborough has suggested.

And I would like to see a world in which we give real meaning to those Aichi targets that were set so many years ago at Kyoto and I hope that our Chinese colleagues will be pushing that agenda at their Biodiversity Summit in Kunming. I know that we will be working with colleagues under the auspices of the UN to do that at the COP26 summit in Glasgow.

Obviously it’s right to focus on climate change, obviously it’s right to cut CO2 emissions, but we won’t achieve a real balance with our planet unless we protect nature as well. One final thought, don’t forget that the coronavirus pandemic was the product of an imbalance in man’s relationship with the natural world.

Like the original plague which struck the Greeks I seem to remember in book one of the Iliad, it is a zoonotic disease. It originates from bats or pangolins, from the demented belief that if you grind up the scales of a pangolin you will somehow become more potent or whatever it is people believe, it originates from this collision between mankind and the natural world and we’ve got to stop it.

And that’s why I think that this summit is so important and this focus on the natural world and on biodiversity is absolutely critical. Yes we must tackle climate change, but climate change must be seen as part of an overall agenda to protect the natural world and I think the One Planet agenda is completely right.

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur le Président, and thank you so much for your leadership and partnership today and during the past year.

Thank you also to Your Excellency Angela Merkel for your leadership and partnership.

Your Excellency Félix Tshisekedi,
Your Excellency Mark Rutte,
Your Excellency Pascal Canfin,
Your Excellency Charles Michel,
Mr Qu Dongyu,
Mr Marco Lambertini,
Excellencies, dear colleagues and friends,

In the past 12 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us all many lessons.
One of the most important is that the health of humans, animals and the planet that sustains us are intimately linked.

More than 70% of emerging diseases discovered in recent years are linked to animal-to-human transmission.

We have one planet – and one health.
There are three areas in which WHO is working to promote a One Health approach:

First, stronger policy for One Health.
In May last year, WHO published our Manifesto for a healthy and green recovery, with six policy prescriptions and more than 80 specific actions to protect nature, invest in water and sanitation and clean energy, promote sustainable food systems, build healthier cities, and reduce polluting activities.

Second, a stronger approach to One Health.
Through our 150 country offices, we’re working to strengthen country-level mechanisms and capacity to implement a One Health approach.
And we’re working on early warning systems that integrate human, animal and environmental surveillance and monitoring.

And third, stronger partnership for One Health.
Major health challenges, including antimicrobial resistance, food safety, and pandemic preparedness cannot be effectively addressed by one sector alone.
That’s why the tripartite was formed between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Organization for Animal Health, and WHO.
Together with our partners in the tripartite and UN Environment, we have now agreed to establish a One Health High-Level Expert Council, supported by a joint secretariat.
The Council will analyse scientific evidence and policy responses in countries and advise us on actions to take and recommendations to develop.
Together we are now working to establish a supportive mechanism for the Council, and expect the first meeting by the World Health Assembly in May.

My sisters and brothers,
We live in an ever-changing world. This will not be the last outbreak of a zoonotic disease.
But with stronger policy, a stronger approach and stronger partnership, we can prevent, prepare for and mitigate the impact of future outbreaks of zoonotic diseases – and make our world healthier, safer, fairer and more sustainable for everyone.
I thank you. Merci beaucoup.

Qu Dongyu, Director-General of FAO (TBC)
Excellencies, HE. President Macron, Chancellor Merkel,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

1. As governments are negotiating the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, FAO is committed to continue supporting the mainstreaming of biodiversity across agriculture and food sectors by Hand in Hand Initiative.
2. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the close links between human, animal and environmental health, in a context of increased human-livestock-wildlife contacts and ecosystems degradation.

3. FAO recognizes the importance of environmental sustainability as a key determinant of a long term “One Health for All”. We need to do more “all for one health”. FAO has been promoting international Bee Day for biodiversity.
4. FAO strongly supported the creation of the One Health High-level Expert Council tasked with collecting and disseminating information on this interconnection with context of biodiversity erosion.

5. This must involve addressing inequalities in health, as there can be no health security if vulnerable in the rural area are left behind.
6. We have intensified work at the interface of One Health and Ecosystem restoration and therefore welcome the PREZODE (PREventing ZOonotic Diseases Emergence)programme.
7. PREZODE can count on FAO’s field work and experience globally: through our One Health “ECTAD” network of over 400 animal health experts working in 36 African and Asian countries, through our reference centres, and laboratory surveillance programme.
8. Together with the new PREZODIAC Initiative, we will provide over 100 million USD of support on zoonotic disease surveillance to over 100 national animal health laboratories in 2021-23.
9. Finally, we offer using the new Joint FAO/WHO (FAO/IAEA) Centers as support hub for science-policy dialogue, enabling the work of the High Level Expert Council on One Health to guide the science and the Centers to act as platform for better uptake of scientific outcomes for policy decisions.
10. The world needs “One Health for All by All for One Healthy Planet”!
11. Let’s do it historically, holistically, coherently and collectively!
Thank you.

Summary

Marco Lambertini, Director-General of WWF-International, said:
“The initiatives and funding announced at the One Planet Summit provide critical momentum on nature ahead of major global environmental agreements to be made later this year and, crucially, start the process of turning commitments into action. However, a step change in both ambition and urgency is still needed if we are to secure a sustainable future for both people and the planet.

“Science tells us that our broken relationship with nature is increasing our vulnerability to pandemics, threatening our economies, and undermining our efforts to tackle the climate crisis. Never has the need for urgent action been clearer, but world leaders are yet to demonstrate that they have grasped the scale of the crisis at hand. We urge them to take the necessary steps to deliver a transformative biodiversity agreement in Kunming that secures a nature-positive.
