COP15: “The crucial days of negotiations are underway”

On this penultimate day of the COP15 biodiversity conference in Montreal, Mayor Valérie Plante has put out a statement encouraging countries to sign the event’s agreement.

The freshly drafted agreement is known as the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

“The crucial days of negotiations are underway. I invite countries to demonstrate ambition, solidarity and build a solid partnership with cities. Today, let’s choose to be consistent. Let’s choose the only way possible!”
