Global Steering Committee
Former heads of state, foreign ministers, and diplomats have come together from regions around the world to serve as the Global Steering Committee (GSC) for the Campaign for Nature. The GSC is united by the belief that the destruction of the natural world is an urgent issue for our economies, our health, and the overall well-being of mankind.
The members of the GSC are calling on world leaders to take bold action to support a global goal to protect at least 30 percent of the planet’s land and ocean by 2030. For this goal to be successful, it must respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities and be accompanied by a dramatic increase in funding for implementation.
