 Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, AFL also on behalf of several system-unit entities joins your call for agent action on biodiversity for sustainable development. Biodiversity is invaluable and is being disappeared rapidly. It plays many vital roles, like nutrient recycling, clean air and water, and has scientific, economic environment and cultural importance. There is hardly any economic sector that does not depend directly or indirectly on biodiversity. It's lost and mines global efforts to tackle poverty and hunger, no biodiversity, no food diversity. We need to radically transform our economies and the behaviors, make sure that they are inclusive, green and sustainable. As governments are negotiating the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, the UN system is committed to support the challenging tasks of mainstreaming biodiversity, cross-economies and societies for best outcomes. Just as we are ensuring that biodiversity is mainstreamed across our internal UN operations, programs and policies by working the talk, the UN system supports members in making biodiversity an integral part of the strategies on green development, innovative approaches and disaster risk management, and implementing international agreements and policies to ensure food security, livelihoods and sustainability. Restoring terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, conserving genetic species and natural resources, using natural-based solutions, green and blue financial and a sustainable value chance, as well as changing the consumption and production patterns are among the priorities that guide our approaches. There are important linkages between this summit and the UN Food System Summit 2021. The future of our agro-food systems depends on the biodiversity and the future of biodiversity depends on our food systems transformation, green economic development and reverence to the nature. It is time bridging our agendas. Both summits are momentum to biodiversity and food security as a whole. No one behind and no one behind. Let's do it historically, holistically, coherently and collectively. I thank you.
