Abstract

As this issue of the Journal is published, at this crucial juncture in history, when the global pandemic seems to be relentless, the good news is that more holistic thinking and action on environmental issues is emerging all around. The agenda of humanity’s need to deal with climate change immediately has come to the fore. Also, and importantly, the International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the two inter-governmental agencies charged with the responsibility of designing action on climate change, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, joined hands to publish a Report (in June 2021) on the synergies and trade-offs between actions on climate change and biodiversity. Even more significantly, perhaps, the UNDP Report (2020), for the first time, compiled a country-wise human development index adjusted for planetary impact called the Planetary Human Development Index (PHDI). This brings the planetary impact of development into focus in a big way. In India, the Biodiversity Collaborative, a major initiative supported by the government, brought together a network of institutions and individuals to promote biodiversity research and conservation to enhance human well-being. A National Coalition for Natural Farming is due to celebrate the first year of its existence.
