With the planet facing a triple crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss, Inger Andersen, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), tells FRANCE 24 that it's time for a gear change with respect to restoring ecosystems.

Inger Andersen was a guest speaker of INSEAD's Hoffmann Global Institute for Business and Society at the ChangeNOW summit.
