There has never been a more urgent need to restore damaged ecosystems. The COVID-19 pandemic is a direct result of the degradation of natural areas, species loss, and exploitation. It is time to change how we cultivate our land, use our soils, exploit coastal and marine ecosystems, and manage our forests. India must participate actively in the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Ten years of sustained action will help India end poverty by enhancing livelihoods; to combat climate change by reviving natural carbon stores; to halt the collapse of bio-diversity by rebuilding homes for wildlife. Ecosystem restoration benefits people and nature. For a better future, India must work towards creating food systems that work with nature. Empowering small-scale farmers and women farmers and challenging social norms and business practices are key. This can be achieved through capacity building and education.

Globally, we must reduce net carbon dioxide emissions by 45% by 2030. And we must reach net-zero emissions by 2050 to have a hope of achieving the $$1.5^{\circ}$$ Paris Agreement target. India needs to work towards this by transforming energy systems, land use, agriculture, forest protection, urban development, infrastructure and lifestyles.
