OTTAWA — “Canada is immensely proud of the role we played in hosting COP15 in Montréal… passing the Kunming–Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework.”…”For our part, Canada has moved fast and early. We are steadily making progress on the largest conservation campaign in our country’s history, backed by over $12 billion in investments and aiming toward protecting 30 percent of Canadian land and water by 2030. Our recent 2030 Nature Strategy, released ahead of COP16, charts our path to achieving our objectives. …”To hold this and any future government accountable, we introduced the Nature Accountability Bill that requires the Government to transparently report on their progress.” …”Canada is coming to COP16 ready to galvanize leadership and action. …Let’s make COP16 a breakthrough for many countries ready to deliver on the global biodiversity framework.”
