Abstract

Despite its relevance to most UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), nitrogen pollution still lacks broad visibility and coordinated global governance. A new goal to “halve nitrogen waste” by 2030 would save US$100 billion annually, contributing to post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) economic recovery and multiple SDGs. The scientific community is working with the UN to coordinate and accelerate the necessary action.
