OUR G L OB A L WOR K THE CHALLENGE AHEAD Unfair and dysfunctional governance continues to undermine progress on some of the biggest environmental challenges. Meanwhile, the growing threat to democratic values around the world is shrinking the space for civic action and leading to increased acts of violence against environmental human rights defenders. Action is needed on many fronts in the coming decade, including encouraging inclusive conservation through a rights-based approach that amplifies the voices of those in vulnerable or marginalized situations and ensures the costs and benefits of conservation are shared fairly; building awareness of corruption's environmental and social costs; and encouraging sustainable infrastructure and planning decisions that help people and nature to flourish.
