With each passing year, the urgency of tackling environmental issues becomes clearer: we only have one planet, and it is in danger.

Our relationship with nature and with other living beings needs a radical rethink in order to address these issues – we need to design and create a truly shared world. Biosphere reserves have shown that it is possible to live in this world while also establishing a sustainable and harmonious relationship with nature. The International Day for Biosphere Reserves is an invitation to take inspiration from the solutions already implemented in these spaces to build genuinely sustainable development everywhere, with full respect for nature and for the living world. It was proclaimed by the UNESCO General Conference in its 41^st session (2021, 41 C/Resolution 37)
