ALT An infographic shows a timeline to 2045 with images showing how the variety of nature has been steadily degraded since 1970, but by 2030 nature loss is halted and by 2045 it is recovering. This is shown by an increase in trees, plants and wildlife on our land and in our rivers and seas, and a reduction in greenhouse gases and pollution from industry and transport.
