Cities consume 70% of the world’s food and generate half of its waste.

In Brazil — the host nation for this year’s — cities are showing that it doesn’t have to be this way.

Through the movement, Brazilian cities are leading by example:

✅ Supporting sustainable farming practices

✅ Teaching environmental resilience in schools

✅ Reducing waste and promoting circular economies

From farms to classrooms, communities across Brazil are proving that urban areas can drive real change toward a greener, more sustainable future.

In the Northern Mozambique Channel, an ambitious UN World restoration flagship is proving that ecosystem recovery and community prosperity can go hand in hand.

From protecting sea-turtle hatchlings on remote beaches to turning seaweed into soap by local women’s groups, coastal ecosystems are being revived — and with them, livelihoods.

The initiative, covering land and sea across Comoros, Madagascar, Mozambique and Tanzania, seeks to restore over 1.2 million ha by 2030 and boost household incomes by up to 30 % in target communities.
