‘Humanity is treating nature like a toilet, committing suicide by proxy’: UN chief

He accused multinational corporations of filling their bank accounts while emptying ”our world of its natural gifts.” ”With our bottomless appetite for unchecked and unequal economic growth, humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction. We are treating nature like a toilet. And ultimately, we are committing suicide by proxy,” he said. ”The loss of nature and biodiversity comes with a steep human cost. A cost we measure in lost jobs, hunger, disease and deaths. A cost we measure in the estimated $3 trillion in annual losses by 2030 from ecosystem degradation. A cost we measure in higher prices for water, food and energy.”
